To True Christianty, as our Lord taught it and 
his Apostles preached it, this Book is lovingly 
dedicated— The Author. 



PREFACE. 

The Author's purpose in writing this Book is 
to heal the sore that is festering upon human 
society. The sin of the race is Carnality. The Bible 
and Christianity is the only remedy for the sins of 
the race which are filling our insane asylums, hos- 
pitals and jails. Christianity in its Purity will solve 
all the evils of the race; and it will empty the in- 
sane asylums, jails and hospitals of the race, if it is 
taught to the race in its purity, and understood 
and lived by the race. 

The ignorance of the sex, as taught in the 
Bible and the violation of the laws of the sex as 
taught in the Bible, has filled the insane asylums, 
hospitals and prison cells in all ages, and is doing 
so today. The Author, as a Lawyer, saw this clear- 
ly. His experience as a lawyer enabled him to see 
the evils of the race and their cause. 

He studied the Bible from the viewpoint of sex 
as Moses wrote it, and Jesus taught it, and the 
Apostles preached it, and he became convinced that 
Christianity in its purity is the only remedy for the 
ills of the race. Hence, he has written this Book 
and his other Books on the Bible. 

Moses wrote of sex, the Prophets told of sex, 
Jesus taught sex and the Apostles preached about 
sex. The Doctrine of the Bible is that all sin is 
within the sex, and that Christianity is the over- 
coming of the sensual in act, thought and conscious- 
ness; but the Truth of the Bible as Moses wrote it 
and Jesus taught it and the Apostles preached it, 



has not been given to the race. The race is in 
ignorance and darkness, as to the Truth of the 
Bible, and hence, the insane asylums, hospitals and 
prison cells of the world are filled. Purity will 
empty the insane asylums, hospitals and jails of the 
world. The purpose of this Book and my other 
Books on the Bible is to produce a clean and pure 
race; and to empty the insane asylums, jails and 
hospitals of the world, and to produce a stronger 
race, physically and mentally, and a pure race spir- 
itually. Christianity, in its Purity as the Christ 
taught it, will do this, and the purpose of this Book 
and my other Books on the Bible is to educate the 
race in the truth of the Bible, and to give Chris- 
tianity to the race in its Purity. 

Sincerely, 

SIDNEY C. TAPP.

THE DUALITY OF THE BIBLE 

or The Scriptural Church and Christianity 



THE DUALITY OF THE BIBLE 

or 
THE LAW OF THOUGHT. 

CHAPTER I. 

On this plane and in this dual state of exist- 
ence, all thought is dual of nature, spiritual and 
sensual, or non-sex and sex in consciousness — of 
the soul and of the sex. Soul thoughts and ideas 
are of God, who is the Father of spirits, and carnal 
thoughts and ideas are of the sensual (sex)— the 
serpent^the Satanic mind. 

Soul thoughts and ideas are spiritual and holy, 
and are life, and flow from God, as the Father of 
all life. Carnal thoughts and ideas are located in 
the sensual, the carnal senses and sex organs, and 
flow from the sex senses and the generative organs, 
and the lust senses of the brain, and are darkness 
and death. Spiritual thoughts and ideas are imma- 
terial. Carnal thoughts and ideas are of the mate- 
rial consciousness of the sex senses, and sex brain 
(generative organs) and lust senses. Spirituality 
has its origin in the Soul, and is of spiritual sense. 
Carnality has its origin in the sex brain and lust 



senses and in the Satanic mind. This is the dual 
law of thought and language on this plane of ex- 
istence. 

Spiritual thoughts and ideas are the Truth. 
Carnal thoughts and ideas are Error. Spiritual 
thoughts and ideas are Divine worship. Carnal 
thoughts and ideas are sex worship and idolatry. 
Spiritual thoughts and ideas are Life, and carnal 
thoughts and ideas are Death. Truth, Light and 
Life are of the Soul and flow from God, who in his 
essence, is the Father of Truth, Light and Life ; and 
error, idolatry, darkness and death originate in 
and flow from the sex brain (generative organs), 
and lust senses of the brain, which are Satanic in 
their nature. 

This is the dual creation, and it is recorded in 
Genesis as the Law of Life and the Law of Death. 
The spiritual creation is the creation of "God;" and 
the material creation of male and female is the 
creation of the "Lord God.'' The soul creation is of 
"God,'' and the creation of the carnal senses, which 
is male and female, in nature and material, is of the 
"Lord God." The spiritual creation, which is of 
"God," is Life, the material creation, which is ma- 
terial and sex — is of the "Lord God" and is Death. 
"God" created the soul — (the man made in God's 
image), and the "Lord God" created the serpent — 
the sex and Satanic mind. This creation of "God" 
and the "Lord God" (the creation of soul and sex), 
run through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. 

All that is holy, pure, spiritual, light and life, 
are non-sensual, non-material and non-sex in 
thought and consciousness. All that is unholy, im- 
pure, darkness, idolatry, sex worship and death is 



sensual, material and sex in thought and conscious- 
ness. 

Man, made in God's "image," was non-sensual 
and non-sex in thought and conscionsness. He was 
mind, God is Mind and Spirit, and matter cannot be 
the "image" of and reflect Mind and Spirit. The 
'Image" of God, is God's ideas and thoughts — they 
are spiritual Entities. They are conscious spiritual 
beings, and immaterial and non-sensual in nature. 
Man that God made in his "image" was immaterial 
and non-sensual in essence, thought and Conscious- 
ness; and he thought holy ideas and non-sensual 
thoughts until "the fall." The man made in "God's 
image" only had one state of consciousness and one 
law thought until the "Fall," and that state of con- 
sciousness and law of thought was holy and spirit- 
ual and of spiritual sense. Not an idea and thought 
of the carnal and sensual entered man's state of 
consciousness until after the "Fall." Man made in 
God's "image" only knew and was only conscious of 
Good — Spiritual sense. But after the "Fall" man 
knew "Good and Evil." He was then conscious of 
both the spiritual and carnal senses, and thought 
both spiritual and sensual (soul and sex) thoughts 
and ideas. The "Fall" was in thought, and the 
thought was sex lust, and the^act was the sex act, 
and death followed as the result. 

The man made in God's "image" had failed to 
have "Dominion" over the "earth." the carnal and 
sex senses. The sex and sensual of the Adamic and 
material creation was the "Earth" that man made 
in God's "image" and was commanded to "refill and 
subdue." He partook of death when he partook of 
the sensual and sex in thought and act, and died. 

—3— 



The Adamic creation was, and is, material, sensual 
and sex in nature; it is the "Earth." 

This dual creation is clearly set out in Genesis 
1:26 to 28: "And God said, let us make man in our 
^image,^ and after our likeness." Gen. 1:26. This 
is the spiritual creation, and is non-sensual and 
non-sex in nature and character. "And let them 
have dominion over the fish of the sea and the 
fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all 
the earth, and over every creeping thing that 
creepeth upon the earth," Gen. 1:26. This is the 
Adamic creation and is sensual and sex in nature 
and thought. "So God created man in his own 
image," Gen. 1:27. This is the spiritual creation — 
the man made in God's image, who is non-material 
and non-sensual — and non-sex in nature and 
thought. "Male and female created he them," Gen. 
1:27. This is the Adamic creation, and is material, 
sensual and sex in its nature and thought. 

In this account here given of creation, in the 
original, the thought is clear, that there are two 
records of creation. The first creation that is 
recorded is spiritual, non-sex and non-sensual. Then 
the thought of creation closes, and a new idea of 
creation is expressed, which is material, sensual and 
sex in its nature and thought. And the line of 
thought that divides these two creations in charac- 
ter and nature is materiality, sensuality and sex; 
and this is the dividing line between the material 
and spiritual worlds, in thought and consciousness. 
This law runs all through the Bible and all through 
nature. 

All of the material creation is sex and sensual, 
and the spiritual creation is non-sensual and non- 
sex in nature and character, "And God blessed 



—4- 



them and God said unto them, be fruitful, multiply 
and replenish the earth, and subdue it," Gen. 1:28. 

The Hebrew word translated "earth" is 
Adamah, and means the Adam man, with his car- 
nal, sensual and sex nature. The word here trans- 
lated earth, is not the Hebrew word, erests, which 
means globe or planitary system. It is not the globe 
or planet that man is told to replenish and sub- 
due, but it is the Adam man, with his sensual and 
sex nature, that the man made in God's "image" 
is told to refill, subdue and have dominion over. 
The "Dominion" here commanded is a spiritual do- 
minion of soul over the sex lust of the "Earthly" 
and Adamic creation. It is Soul Dominion over ma- 
terial Sense. Spiritual Ideas and thoughts are to 
overcome carnal and lust ideas and thoughts of the 
^ex of the material and Adamic creation. This 
command, to have dominion over the "Earth" (the 
Sex and Carnal Senses) was not given to the lower 
animal creation. It was not made in God's "image" 
— but is controlled by the law of sex of the Adamic 
creation without "Shame." 

The lower animal creation has no conscious- 
ness of "Sin and Shame" of the sex act, because it 
is not made in the "image of God." "This is the 
book of the generations of Adam, in the day that 
God created man in the likeness of God, made he 
him." This is the spiritual creation. It is non-sex 
and non-sensual in its nature. "Male and female 
created he them and blessed them and called their 
name Adam in the day when they were created." 
Gen. 5:1-2. This is the Material creation. It is sen- 
sual and sex in its nature. It was made male and 
female and named Adam, that is, Adamic, or 
Adamah, which means (Red Earth) or the carnal 



—5- 



man with flesh and blood. Jesus said flesh and 
blood cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, and this 
Adam man, who is sex and sensual and is of flesh 
and blood, cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven — 
that is, cannot think spiritual and soul thoughts, 
but his every thought is lustful and carnal. He is 
not spirit or soul, and has no consciousness of spir- 
itual sense and soul thoughts. He is not in the 
"image" of God, and never was in the "image" of 
God. He is matter and flesh. 

The male and female are the Adamic creation 
taken from dust and unto dust they must return. 
The male and female were named Adam — that is, 
the Adamic and material creation is sex, male and 
female, and the soul and spiritual creation is non-sex. 
"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was 
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." 
Eccl. 12:7. Here is the dual creation declared. The 
spirit that shall return unto God who gave it, is the 
soul, or the man made in God^s "image," and is non- 
sensual and non-sex in nature; and the dust that 
shall return unto the earth as it was is the male 
and the female of the material creation with their 
lust, sensual and carnal nature. 

"There is therefore, now, no condemnation to 
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after 
the flesh, but after the Spirit, for the law of the 
spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free 
from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2. 
Here Paul declares the dual creation and a dual law 
of thought on this plane of existence. The Spiritual 
creation, he declares, is non-sensual in thought and 
is life, and the material creation is the lust of the 
flesh in thoughts and is death. 

"There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of 



-6— 



the Almighty, giveth them understanding." Job 
32:8. Here Job declares that there is a spirit within 
the carnal body of man, and it is from God, and 
non-material and non-sensual. "All flesh shall per- 
ish together, and man shall return again unto 
dust.'^ Job 34:15. Here Job declares that the car- 
nal creation — male and female of the Adamic crea- 
tion, is made of the dust and shall return to dust. 
It is non-spiritual and carnal in its nature. 

"In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat of 
bread till thou return unto the ground, for out of it 
wast thou taken, for dust thou art and unto dust 
shall return.'' Gen. 3:19. This Adam man which 
was taken from the dust, and is told that he shall 
return to dust is not the "spirit that is within man." 
This Adam man made of dust is the male and fe- 
male of the material creation, and they are sensual 
and lustful in their thought and nature. They are 
the "Earth" that the "Spirit that is within man" 
was told to "refill and subdue," that is, the soul of 
the man made in God's "image" was told to over- 
come and refill the carnal senses of the Adam man 
with spiritual sense; "and the spirit within man 
and the soul of man which was made in God's 
'image,'" was told to increase with spiritual sense 
and in a spiritual understanding and to have "Do- 
minion" over and to "subdue" the carnal and sex 
nature of the male and the female of the Adamic or 
material creation. Had the man made in God's 
"image," who is spirit, fulfilled this command he 
would have gone out of and have overcome the ma- 
terial body of the male and female of the Adamic 
creation without material deaths — and without spir- 
itual death, and this must yet be done for man to 



-7— 



have life. It is the Resurrection — the triumph of 
soul over the carnal and sex in thought. 

The "Fall" was the soul yielding in thought and 
consciousness to the lust of the male and female 
senses of the Adamic creation, and as a result, the 
material body of the male and female of the Adamic 
creation decays and returns unto "dust;" and the 
soul that was made in the "image of G^od" in 
thought and consciousness, departs from its holy 
state in thought and consciousness and becomes 
carnal in thought and consciousness. 

The resurrection is the restoration of the soul 
to the "image of God," the Father, and in this state 
the soul will only think spiritual thoughts and be 
conscious of the spiritual sense. This resurrection 
is the transition from the material sense of the fe- 
male and male of the Adamic creation to the con- 
sciousness of the spiritual sense, of the spiritual 
creation. The spiritual body made in the "image of 
God" is resurrected from the senses and conscious- 
ness of the material body. The material body of the 
male and female of the Adamic creation is the 
"Earth" from which the man (soul) made in God's 
"image" is resurrected, and not the earth of the 
globe or planetary system. 

The soul is restored to spiritual sense and lib- 
erated from the carnal senses of the male and fe- 
male of the Adamic creation. This is life Eternal, 
and this is the Christian resurrection. The grave 
(Death) is the material and sex sense of the male 
and female of the Adamic creation, and the mate- 
rial bodies of the Adamic creation return to dust 
as the result of sex lust. "They all go to the grave" 
(Death) as the result of the mind of the serpent. 
When the soul is restored to the "image" of the 



Father, in thought, man is resurrected, (Man made 
in the image of God is resurrected) from the grave 
(Death), of the sex and lust senses of the material 
creation. Death is the effect of lust in thought; 
and life is the result of overcomnig lust in thought. 

"And Moses spake unto the people saying, Let 
the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a 
man over the congregation." Nums. 27:15-16. 
Moses here recognizes God as the Father of Spirits 
and differentiates between the spiritual and mate- 
rial creations. 

The flesh is male and female and sensual and 
sex in its nature. "For I will not contend forever, 
neither will I be always wroth, for the spirit should 
fail before me, and the souls which I have made.'' 
Isaiah 57:16. Here we see that God is the Father 
of spirit and of soul. This is the spiritual creation 
It is the creation that was made in God's "image" 
and is non-material and non-sensual and non-sex. 

The Adamic creation was, and is, material, sen- 
sual and sex in nature. This dual creation is clear- 
ly set out in Genesis and all through the Bible, it is 
from Genesis to Revelation; the law of Sex, and 
the law of spirit, and the law of the carnal senses 
and the law of soul sense is the Law of the Bible. 
The creations of "God" and of the "Lord God" are 
all through the Bible. The creation of "God" is 
spiritual and the creation of the "Lord God" is ma- 
terial and is of the Senses. The law of carnal 
thoughts and the law of soul thoughts, the law of 
the sex senses in thought and the law of the spirit- 
ual senses in thought, is the Law of thought of the 
Bible. 

"What profit is there in my blood when I go 
down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall 



-9— 



it declare thy truth?" Psalms 29:9. Here the 
Psalmist declares that the carnal sense of the 
Adamic creation cannot declare the truth of God, 
and that only the soul, which is of spiritual sense, 
can declare the truth of God — for Truth is of spirit 
and spiritual sense. The carnal in thought cannot 
become conscious of God, who is spirit. "For he 
knoweth our frame, he remembereth that we are 
Dust." 108 Psalms 15. This is the sex and mate- 
rial creation. "Thou hideth thy face, they are 
troubled; Thou takest away thy breath, they die 
and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy 
spirit, they are created." 104 Psalms 29-30. Here 
is the dual creation, all are of the dust and all turn 
to dust again. "Who knoweth the spirit of man 
that goeth upward and the spirit of the beast that 
goeth downward to the earth?" Eccl. 3:20-21. Here 
is the dual creation again declared. The spirit of 
man "goeth upward" in thought and "conscious- 
ness" as it overcomes the sensual, and the dust of 
the material creation returns to dust as a result of 
sensual thoughts. The spirit of man "goeth up- 
ward" because it is created in the "image" of God. 
and the spirit of beast "goeth downward" to the 
earth because it is not made in the "image" of God, 
and is controlled in thought and consciousness by 
the sex lust of the Adamic and material creation. 
And God commanded man made in his "image" 
to be "fruitful," that is, bring forth a spiritual 
fruition, and increase spiritually and to multiply 
spiritually, until the carnality and the sensuality of 
the Adamic creation was "refilled and subdued," 
that is — until the creation of the mind of God had 
dominion over the Satanic mind, which is sensual 
and carnal and sex in its nature. God did not com- 



—10— 



mand the lower animal creation to have "dominion 
over the earth" — sex lust — the Adamic creation. 
The lower animal creation, spiritually was not made 
in "God's image," and, therefore, was not com- 
manded to have "dominion over the earth" (sex 
lust) — the Adamic creation — the sex and carnal in 
nature and character. The lower animal creation 
is controlled by sex, and so is mankind since the 
"Fall." 

Before man fell and as long as he retained the 
image of God, his thoughts and ideas were entirely 
spiritual and non-sensual and non-sex in character 
and nature. His thoughts and ideas were holy and 
perfect — non-material and non-sensual until man 
yielded to the carnal in thought. The law of his 
being and mind was holy and spiritual, and the law 
of all thought was spiritual and non-sensual in 
nature and character until man yielded to the mind 
of the serpent in thought and act. Man never be- 
came conscious of the material and sensual and sex 
in thought and consciousness, and subject to the 
law of the material, sensual and sex in thought and 
consciousness and death until after the "Fall." See 
Gen. 5:1-2. 

It was the carnal and sex in thought and con- 
sciousness and act that produced spiritual death of 
the soul and sent the Adam man to dust. And it 
will take the overcoming of the sensual and sex in 
thought and consciousness to restore life to the soul 
and to resurrect the spiritual body from the carnal 
and sex senses and material body, in thought. Pur- 
ity is the Resurrection. 

This dual creation of "God" which is spiritual 
and of the "Lord God" which is material and car- 
nal and sex in its nature is represented in Abel and 



—11-- 



Cain. Abel is the creation of God. Abel is the spir- 
itual creation. Cain is the Adamic creation, the sex 
of the material creation. He is of the "Earth'' and 
"Earthy.'' The original from which the word Abel 
is derived means soul or spirit, in contra-distinction 
to matter and the material creation. Abel is soul, 
and Cain is the lust of the sex of the male and fe- 
male of the Adamic creation. The original for Cain 
means "a wanderer," wandering in thought and 
mind in the land of the carnal and sex senses. 

Eve said when she conceived Cain "That she 
had gotten a man from the Lord." Gen. 4:11. This 
was the lie of the serpent. It was the lie of the car- 
nal senses, and the mind of the serpent has claimed 
since the day of Cain that all mortal conception of 
the Adamic creation is spiritual, and this is the lie 
of the carnal senses. 

There is not anything spiritual in carnal con- 
ception, it is of the Satanic mind. Every woman 
since the "Fall" has claimed through the carnal 
mind that her carnal conception was of the Lord 
and Holy, yet her soul has told her that this is the 
lie of the serpent. "And she again bare his brother 
Abel." Abel here is the soul, the mind of man made 
in God's image. Every Cain man, with his carnal 
senses murders Abel, the soul. "Abel was the keep- 
er of sheep." Sheep here is the emblem of purity. 
Our Lord often times referred to those who had 
overcome the carnal senses of the Adamic creation 
and were pure in heart as "his sheep," and to those 
who were living for the carnality of the Adamic 
creation as "goats." The "goat" is a sensual ani- 
mal, and our Lord used the "sheep" and the "goat" 
to type purity and sensuality. AH of his symbols 
in his parables type purity and sensuality. 



—12- 



But Cain was a tiller of the "ground." 
"Ground" here is the "Earth" that the man made in 
God's "image" was commanded to refill and subdue. 
The "Ground," as here used, is the carnal senses of 
the sex lust of the Adamic creation. Cain was a 
cultivator of the "Ground," that is, he cultivated 
the sex and carnal senses in thought and conscious- 
ness. The Cain within men are today cultivating 
the "Ground." as in the beginning. Lust is today 
controlling men as in the beginning. They live for 
the indulgence of the sex in thought and act, and 
murder Abel (the soul) and die as the result. 

"And in process of time it came to pass that 
Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering 
unto the Lord." Gen. 4:3. Cain's offering to the 
Lord was the lust of the flesh — the thoughts and 
desires of the sex nature of the Adamic creation, 
and men today are offering the carnal to God in 
thought as of old. "And Abel he also brought of 
the offerings of his flock and the fat thereof, and 
the Lord had respect unto Abel, and to his offer- 
ings." The sheep and the flock here, which was 
AbeFs offering, are the emblems of purity and spir- 
ituality. AbeFs offering was the mind of purity 
and spiritual thought, and his purity was accept- 
able unto the Lord. Abel is the soul liberated from 
the sensual of the Adamic creation. God today will 
accept the spiritual offerings of the soul, if it will 
only subdue the lust of the flesh and live with him 
as the Father of Spirits. "But unto Cain and his 
offering He had no respect and Cain was very 
wroth and his countenance fell." Gen. 4:5. 

Cain is the carnal mind with its lust and sex 
nature and God had no respect for the mind of the 
serpent and the carnal senses. Ever since the "Fall" 



— i; 



the mind of Abel and the mind of Cain has been 
within every man and woman, and warring against 
each other. These two minds have been at war in 
the human race since the serpent entered into the 
consciousness and thoughts of the race, and they 
are at war today within every human being. 

Before the serpent deceived Eve, Abel— the 
soul — was free from the thought of Cain, and in the 
"image of God," and Cain talked vnth Abel, his 
brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the 
field, that Cain "rose up against Abel, his brother, 
and slew him." Gen. 4:8. Cain is ever talking to 
the soul made in God's image. He is the sex mind 
within every man and woman, talking to the soul 
made in God's image. The word translated "ser- 
pent," that deceived Eve, means "Babbler" and 
"master of the tongue." Tongue means language 
or the expression of thought, that is, thought in 
consciousness. The sex lust senses of the Adamic 
creation is the "Babbler" and the "master of 
thought" of the carnal creation. 

The carnal and sex senses are in every man and 
woman, sending their carnal and lust messages to 
the consciousness of the soul, made in the "image" 
of God, which are spiritual death to the soul. This 
"Babbler" and "master of the tongue" of the 
Adamic creation is the Cain within us that is mur- 
dering the soul made in "God's image." 

At Puberty, the Cain within us begins to talk 
to the Soul. The Serpent — the carnal and sex 
senses — then begins to "Babble" away and to talk 
to the consciousness of the soul, creating confusion, 
vanity, strife, hatred, selfishness and greed in 
thought and the passion to indulge the carnal and 
sex act. This "Babbler" is ever at war with God 



-14— 



and all that is Holy. It is the sex senses sending 
their ideas and images into the consciousness of the 
Soul as spiritual death. 

"And the Lord said unto Cain, where is Abel, 
thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my 
brother's keeper?" He said: "What hast thou done? 
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me 
from the ground, and now art thou cursed from the 
earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy 
brother's blood from thy hand. When thou tillest 
the ground, it shall henceforth yield unto thee her 
strength; a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be in 
the earth." Gen. 4:10-11-12. The earth here is the 
same earth that man made in God's image was 
commanded to refill and subdue. It is the carnal 
senses. It is the thought of the lust mind, and "it 
is the fugitive and the vagabond of the carnal 
senses." Man is "ashamed" of it because it is sin 
and death. It is at war with all that is holy and 
with God's spiritual creation. 

"And Cain said unto the Lord, my punishment 
is greater than I can bear, behold thou hath driven 
me out this day from the face of the earth and from 
thy face shall I be hid, and I shall be a fugitive and 
a vagabond in the earth, and it shall come to pass 
that every one that findeth me shall slay me." Gen. 
4:13-14. The mind of Cain is the mind of the car- 
nal and sex senses, and this mind is against all that 
is holy and all that is holy is against it. It is the 
mind of confusion, selfishness, turmoil, strife and 
death. This mind of the carnal and sex senses — 
the Cain within us — produces confusion in the 
thought and understanding of the race. It creates 
jealousy, strife and conflict. It produces war be- 
tween individuals and nations. This mind of the 



—15— 



carnal senses arms nations with navies and armies 
and leads them on to the destruction of each other. 
It produces "private diseases" which fill the insane 
asylums and hospitals of the world. It produces 
the desire for liquor, drugs, carnal indulgence, lust 
and crime, which fills the jails and prison cells of 
the world. It is guilt and all are "ashamed" of it. 
It unites the male and female of the Adamic crea- 
tion sexually and they are "ashamed" of the act. It 
produced "guilt" and "shame" in Adam and Eve, 
it produces "guilt" and "shame" in the soul to- 
day, as then. This "guilt" and "shame" in the soul 
is manifested on the face of the race. This mind of 
lust, is a "vagabond" in the world of the carnal 
senses and every man is against it, and all are 
"ashamed" of it. 

The male and female go into secret to indulge 
the Cain within them. They are "ashamed" of the act. 
Our Lord lived above this murderer in thought and 
consciousness and act, and was without "shame," 
and was "the life." Jesus said, "He did nothing in 
"secret." "And the Lord set his mark upon Cain, 
lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain 
went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt 
in the land of Nod, on the East of Eden. "And 
Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bare 
Enoch, and he builded a city and called the name of 
the city after the name of his son Enoch." Gen. 
4:16-17. 

Cain here went forth from the presence of our 
Lord. The Cain within us is the Carnal senses. It 
is not of the Soul, in thought and consciousness; 
only Abel, the soul, which is spirit and made in the 
image of God, is of the Lord in thought and con- 
sciousness. Cain is not in the presence of the Lord 



—16— 



— the carnal senses have no consciousness of God, 
who is Spirit. The carnal senses, which is the Cain 
within us, take no cognizance of spiritual sense and 
of spiritual law and of God. As Cain went out of 
the presence of the Lord, he left Eden and went 
into the land of Nod. Nod is the Land of "Wander- 
ing" — the carnal senses. Eden is the city of the 
spiritual senses. It is the land of Soul. It is the 
state of consciousness of the soul made in God^s 
"image" before the Fall. 

Cain went out of this state of consciousness of 
the spiritual senses into the carnal senses. This is 
the "Land of Nod." The soul in the image of God 
is Eden, and the carnal senses of the sex nature 
of the Adamic creation is the Land of Nod. Cain 
found a carnal mate in the land of Nod, and so 
does every man and woman who become husband 
and wife. In the sex act they go in thought into 
the land of spiritual "Wandering;" Carnality, Nod. 

Marriage and the carnal relation of the sexes 
take place within the land of Nod. It is of the 
Carnal senses. It is of the sex of the Adamic crea- 
tion. The soul in the "image of God" remains in 
Eden^ "and neither marries nor is given in mar- 
riage;" it is holy in thought. The carnal relation 
between the sexes is unholy in the sight of God. It 
is of the Land of Nod, the sex senses — Spiritual 
death. It is of the carnal and sex senses in thought 
and consciousness. 

All the race, "like sheep," have "gone astray," 
and have gone into the Land of Nod, which is the 
land of lust and the carnal senses, and through 
lust and this Land of Nod, the race has been dis- 
eased in all ages. In this Land of Nod, which is 
the land of lust, syphilis, gonorrhea and leprosy 



—17— 



had their origin, and these diseases directly or indi- 
rectly are the parents of all diseases. In this Land 
of Nod, man has indulged the carnal senses until 
he has become diseased and a degenerate. Sex in- 
dulgence burns out the nerve cells of the liver and 
produces liver trouble. It destroys the kidneys and 
diseases them and produces kidney trouble. It dis- 
arranges and destroys the nerve system of the 
brain and produces the insane. Self abuse produces 
the idiot and the imbecile. In the Land of Nod, the 
ills of the race have their origin. This land of Nod 
is the state of carnal thought. 

Jesus said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God 
and his righteousness, and all these things shall be 
added unto you." God^s righteousness is his holy 
state of thought. God is non-carnal in thought. He 
is entirely spiritual in thought. "His righteous- 
ness" is his spiritual ideas. For man to seek his 
righteousness, man miist overcome carnality, and 
become entirely spiritual in thought. As we be- 
come non-carnal in thought, we become holy and 
commune with God through spiritual sense. This 
is seeking the righteousness of God. Jesus said 
that upon this rock He would build His church 
(that is, upon himself, as the Christ) "and the 
gates of Hell should not prevail against it." Jesus 
built His church upon Himself as the Christ, 
and as the Son of the living God. He was 
the Christ, that is the life, because he overcame car- 
nality and death in thought and consciousness. His 
church is composed of the souls who become pure 
and overcome carnality and thereby overcome 
death. They are the "called out." They are the 
elect. That is what the Greek word for Church 
means, "to call out;" that is, these souls have been 



-18— 



called out from carnality and death to spirituality 
and life. And the gates of hell shall not prevail 
against them. Hell is the Greek word for Hades, 
and means "grave" or "death." It is equivalent to 
the Hebrew word, Sheol, which means "Hell," and 
the meaning of this word is "darkness, or the mys- 
terious abode and state of the dead." This is a 
state of consciousness. It is the state of the lost. 
It is spiritual darkness and death. It is a state of 
thought. Jesus said, "this state of mental darkness 
shall not prevail against those who have been 
called out from Carnality and have overcome lust 
and have come into the day of spiritual light." This 
is the church. Jesus said, "As Jonah was in the 
belly of the fish three days and nights, so must the 
son of man lie in the ground three days." Mat. 
12:29. The word translated, fish or whale, into 
whose belly Jonah went three days and nights, 
means "beast." It is symbolic of the thought of the 
beast that deceived Eve. The beast is symbolic of 
lust. Jonah had been sent to Ninevah to preach 
the Gospel. Ninevah was deep in sensuality. Jonah 
at first declined, and for this he was sent into the 
belly of the beast. This is symbolic of spiritual 
death. Our Lord's crucifixion was symbolic of the 
hatred of the beast, the carnal in thought, and his 
going into the ground three days and nights was 
the result of carnality, and so was Jonah going into 
the belly of the fish the result of carnality. It is 
symbolic of the sensual. Daniel was saved in the 
lions' den on account of his purity. The lion types 
the sensual in thought. He was saved from this 
thought on account of his innocence. Daniel said, 
"innocency was found in me." Dan. 6:22. All who 
are pure in heart are saved from the carnal senses 



—19— 



and the mouth of the lion. The lion types sensual- 
ity. The Hebrew children were saved from harm 
in the fiery furnace because they were Hebrews, in- 
deed. They had been spiritually circumcized. The 
flames of the fiery furnace were the same as the 
flaming sword that turned Adam and Eve out of 
the garden. They type sensuality, and the carnal 
in thought. The Christ was in the fiery furnace 
with the Hebrew children. The Christ within the 
consciousness of our souls saves them from the car- 
nal flames and thoughts of sensuality. The Christ 
types the lion of moral courage; the lion of Judah. 
The Prodigal Son illustrates this law of soul 
and of carnality. He left his father's house and 
went into the far country. The far country into 
which he went was the land of Nod. It was the 
carnal senses. "And he wasted his father's sub- 
stance upon the harlots.'' We have the prodigal 
sons around us daily. They have existed in all ages. 
They are wasting their father's substance upon the 
harlots. They have departed from the spiritual, 
and gone into the carnal in thought. They are dis- 
eased and insane. They have destroyed both body 
and mind through lust. Spiritually they are dead. 
"And Cain knew his wife and she conceived and 
bare Enoch, and he builded a city, and called the 
name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch." 
Enoch is the city of the carnal senses, in thought. 
Sin is the "City of Clay." It is the city of the sex 
and lust senses in thought and consciousness. This 
"City of Clay" is the "Earth" (sex lust senses) that 
man, made in the image of God, was told to refill 
and subdue. The city of the soul is Eden, and this 
city is of spiritual sense and soul thought. There 
is not a carnal and lust thought in this holy city, 



—20— 



and the soul of man, made in the "image of God," 
was in this city of spiritual sense and understand- 
ing until the mind of the serpent — the carnal 
thoughts of the sex of the Adamic creation — turned 
the soul out of Eden. Eden is the city of the New 
Jerusalem, and when man shall have overcome the 
carnal senses in thought and consciousness, he shall 
return into this city of spiritual sense and soul 
thought.

CHAPTER II. 

Babylon is the city of the carnal senses. The 
Psalmist defines the city that Cain named after his 
son, Enoch: "Their inward thought is, that their 
houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling 
places to all generations; they call their lands 
after their own names.'' Psalms 49:11. Names are 
the symbols of ideas — the sex and carnal mind gives 
names to its carnal and lust ideas. The Soul gives 
names to its spiritual ideas. Spiritual thoughts are 
cities of spiritual ideas, and carnal thoughts are 
cities of lust ideas. 

All through the Bible the term "City" is used to 
convey the thought of carnal ideas and spiritual 
ideas. Jerusalem is the City of the Soul. Babylon 
is the city of lust. The city of Enoch, that Cain 
called his son, was the city of lust of the carnal re- 
production. It is the city of lust in thought, and in 
this city murder prevails in consciousness and 
thought. Babel is the Hebrew for Babylon, and 
Babylon was the ancient city of carnality and sex 
lust, and is used in the Bible as the symbol of sen- 
suality and lust, and to type the sex of the Adamic 
creation. This city of the carnal senses is the city 
of destruction and death, and from Cain this city 
of the senses in thought and consciousness had its 
origin. 

Abel did not produce a carnal offspring. He is 
neither born nor begotten of natural parents. He 
is a child of God, conceived of the divine mind, and 



is the offspring of Spirit and of spiritual sense and 
of soul thoughts. In this city of Enoch, which is 
the offspring of Cain, the Adamic creation is con- 
ceived and perpetuated. See Gen. 4:17-18. The 
carnal creation, which is sin and death, owes its 
perpetuation to the carnal senses of this city; and 
the Adamic creation was continued and is perpetu- 
ated through this city, which is the city of lust 
thoughts. Cain, in thought, is the father of the 
Adamic creation. The carnal creation is perpetu- 
ated through the law of lust and the belief of pleas- 
ure and life within the carnal and sex senses. 
Eliminate this lie from the consciousness of the 
race in thought and the Adamic creation would 
cease and the Kingdom of God would be at hand. 
"And Jesus said unto them, if God were your 
Father, ye would love me, for I proceedeth forth 
and came from God; neither came I of myself, but 
he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? 
Even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of 
your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father 
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning 
and abode not in the truth, because there is no 
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh 
of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it." 
John 8:42-44. The devil here is the same devil that 
deceived Eve. He is the Serpent, and the Serpent 
means a "Babbler" and the "Master of the tongue 
and thoughts." The devil here is the carnal and 
sex senses of the Adamic creation, speaking into 
consciousness and thought of the soul. He is the 
chief of the fallen angels, who fell. Our Lord says 
that he "abode not in the truth." Truth is of spir- 
itual and soul sense. It is holy in thought and con- 
sciousness. It is without carnal and sex lust in 



nature and thought. God is holy, and God is the 
truth. God is non-carnal in nature and thought. 

When the devil fell, he was cast into carnal 
consciousness and thought. He was cast out of the 
presence of God, and this carnal and sex nature of 
the Adamic creation is his mind manifested in con- 
sciousness and thought, and is the adversary — an 
"enemy" of the soul, made in the "image of God,'^ 
in thought. All that is sensual and carnal in 
thought and consciousness is the mind of fallen 
spirits. They abode not in the truth; they abode 
not in the consciousness, mind and thought of God. 

All propagation here in this Adamic creation 
is through the Satanic mind — Cain. It is of the 
lust of the flesh. The Adamic creation is perpetu- 
ated through the belief of pleasure and life in the 
carnal and sex senses, which is a lie. This mind, 
who is the father of liars, deceived Eve; he told her 
she should not die, which was a lie; and our Lord 
says that "he is the father of liars." All sex lust is 
a lie. There is no truth in the carnal and lust senses. 
They promise life and pleasure and they produce 
death and sorrow. They afflict the human body 
with human torture, and the human mind with 
mental pain. The diseases of both body and mind 
originate within the carnal and lust senses. They 
are of the mind of the serpent. 

Diseases, mental and physical, originate in sen- 
suality. They are of Cain, who was a murderer in 
the beginning. The devil, whom our Lord said 
"abode not in the truth," is the father of disease 
and death. The serpent^s mind is his mind. Sen- 
sual thoughts are his thoughts. Lust consciousness 
is his state of consciousness. His mind is of the 
lust senses of the Adamic creation. This mind has 



—24- 



no truth in it, and is a liar and the father of it. It 
promised Eve life, and gave her death. 

This lust mind of the sex of the Adamic crea- 
tion was a murderer in the beginning. It is the 
Cain within every man and woman since the "Fall," 
and is every moment murdering Abel — the soul in 
consciousness and thought. By this law of death, 
this Adamic creation is perpetuated. It is of the 
carnal and lust senses and is death. After Cain 
had murdered Abel — after the lust of the flesh had 
murdered the Soul in the sex act — Adam knew his 
wife, Eve, again and she bore a son, and called his 
name "Seth.'' "For God," said she, "hath appointed 
me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." 
Gen. 4:25. 

Here the carnal senses were again deceiving 
the soul. They lied to the soul. They said that 
Sethis conception was of God. They had said the 
same as to the conception of Cain. Both were of 
the conception of lust. This same Satanic mind is 
saying to men and women today that carnal con- 
ception is spiritual and of God, and is thus deceiv- 
ing the race and murdering the souls of men and 
women spiritually. 

"Seth" was the "image" of "Adam." Gen. 5:3. 
He was carnal. In thought, "like begets like," 
Seth was carnally conceived and was the image of 
carnality. Adam had produced, and not God. There 
was born a son to Seth, and he called his name 
Enoch. Then began men to call upon the Lord. 
Gen. 4:26. Creation had become carnal. Men had 
gone away from God into lust, and into the city of 
sensuality and death in thought, and the souls of 
the spiritual creation, realizing that they were out 



-25- 



of the presence of God and lost in the consciousness 
of lust, began to call upon the Lord. 

Man, made in the image of God, wandered into 
the land of the carnal and lust senses, in thought 
and consciousness. This is a land into which Cain 
went to get his wife. This was the land of "Nod,'' 
and Nod means "Wandering.'' The race is still 
wandering around in this land of carnality and 
lust, mentally blind to God and all that is spiritual, 
•^and are marrying and given in marriage." The 
race is still "wandering" in this land of the carnal 
senses, and is eaten up with syphilis and diseased 
with gonorrhea and all manner of diseases, as the 
result of the original sin of lust. 

The blind, the deaf, the dumb, the diseased, the 
deformed, the insane and the criminals are every- 
where with us as the result of the race "wander- 
ing" around in this land of Nod — the land of lust 
and the carnal senses. The race in all ages has 
been diseased as the result of "wandering" around 
in this land of the carnal senses and spiritual 
death, into which Cain went to get his wife. 
Our Lord never "wandered" around in this land 
of the carnal senses — in the land of Nod — into 
which Cain went to get his wife. Our Savior 
overcame the land of Nod — the carnal senses in 
thought and consciousness. He said he had over- 
come "the Prince of this world" and the "Prince of 
this world" is the land of Nod, the carnality into 
which Cain went to get a wife; and our Lord, hav- 
ing overcome carnality completely in thought and 
consciousness, restored the insane to their right 
minds, healed the sick and raised the dead. The 
insane are insane, the diseased are diseased, and all 
go to the grave because the race is "wandering" 



—26— 



, 



around in the land of Nod — in the land of the 
carnal senses. 

Our Savior having been conceived spiritually, 
and without the land of Nod — lust — and having 
lived above the carnal in thought, was not subject 
to the law of sickness, disease and death of the 
flesh, hence he healed the sick, restored the insane 
to their right minds and raised the dead. And if 
men were pure today the same could be done now. 
The Apostles and early Christians did it. Spiritual 
law is above the carnal law in thought; and the 
spiritual senses are above the carnal senses. Purity 
knows no disease, insanity and death. 

"And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived 
and bare Enoch and be builded a city and called 
the name of the city after the name of his son, 
Enoch." Gen. 4:7. The city that Cain builded and 
named after his son, Enoch, was the city of carnal 
thoughts; it was the state of carnal consciousness. 
Men today are "wandering" around in the land of 
Nod, which is the land of the carnal senses, and 
are begetting mortal and carnal children and build- 
ing cities — they are building carnal cities of the 
senses in thought. Through their carnal egotism 
they think they are perpetuating themselves 
through the "mud and clay" which composes the 
body of their carnal offspring; but in a few years 
the carnal father and the carnal offspring, both 
return to dust. They are taken from dust and 
"unto dust they are returned." 

Human governments, commerce and society 
itself are formed out of the city that Cain builded 
— they are all the product of the selfishness, greed, 
vanity and egotism of the sex and carnal mind. 
The father "wandering" around in the land of Nod, 



which is the land of the carnal and sex senses, 
marries and is "given in marriage/^ and begets a 
carnal offspring composed of "mud and clay," and 
in thought bows down to the image of this "mud 
and clay'^ which he calls his child, and struggles and 
oppresses others, steals and robs, and through all 
manner of injustice and oppression accumulates 
wealth and money for this carnal offspring of 
"mud and clay,'' and in a few years both father 
and the carnal offspring composed of "mud and 
clay" return to dust, and the estate that the father 
accumulated through injustice and oppression is 
scattered and wasted and passed into the hands of 
others, who build cities to their Enochs — their car- 
nal offspring, composed of "mud and clay," out of 
the cities of the former carnal age. 

Thrones and dynasties of Kingdoms and Em- 
pires are builded to Enochs and named after 
Enoch. Each king and emperor "wanders" into 
the land of Nod and dies spiritually in this land 
of the carnal senses, and brings forth a carnal off- 
spring com^posed of "mud and clay" to inherit his 
throne of earthly power. But the carnal senses 
soon decay and both the king and prince return 
unto dust, and other Cains, "wandering" into the 
land of Nod, die spiritually, in this land of the 
senses, and bring forth Enochs of "mud and clay" 
to shatter the thrones of the former kings and 
their princes, and finally all return unto dust from 
which they came. For they are all of dust, and 
are "wandering" in the land of the carnal senses 
and spiritual death, in thought and consciousness. 
The spiritual man made in "God's image" and who 
is non-m.aterial, non-sex and non-sensual in nature 
and thought, does not reside within this city of 



-28- 



Enoch which Cain builded and does not return to 
dust for he is not dust; he is the child of God, and 
"the father of spirits is his creator"; and when 
he shall have overcome the city of Enoch which 
Cain builded — the city of lust, sensuality, selfish- 
ness, greed, vanity, malice and hatred in thought 
and consciousness, he shall have overcome the 
"Prince of this world," sex lust — and be within the 
"City of the living God." 

Cain is derived from the Hebrew word which 
means to "acquire" and a "spear" and an "arrow;" 
that is, the carnal mind was "acquired" by the 
"fall," and that this fall was the yielding to carnal 
thoughts. This state of carnality, man made in 
God's "image," did not possess originally, but he 
"acquired" it when he yielded to carnality and 
"fell," and then this "acquired" carnal state, in 
thought and consciousness, became a "speer and 
arrow," piercing and murdering the soul, the carnal 
thoughts of this "acquired" fallen state of man con- 
tinually flowed into the soul, producing a state of 
carnal consciousness which was spiritual death. 
These carnal thoughts and lust desires have con- 
tinually flowed into the consciousness of the soul 
as spiritual death since man yielded to carnality in 
thought and act, and "fell." 

Man made in the image of God, was God's 
"moral image," and "moral image" means the spir- 
itual image of God, that is, free from carnality 
and sex lust in thought and consciousness. Man 
"acquired" this fallen state by yielding to the lust 
senses in thought. 

Since the "fall" the thought of the lust senses 
flowing into the consciousness of the soul has con- 
tinually pierced the soul with the arrow of spiritual 



-29— 



death. This is the city that Cain builded, and this 
is the land of Nod into which he wandered. 

Men are today building cities within the carnal 
senses and wandering into this land of the lust 
senses in thought and consciousness and dying 
spiritually as the result. The city of confusion in 
thought in this land of the carnal senses is pro- 
ducing all the war and strife of the human race. 
While I write, practically all Europe is involved 
in the greatest war of all history. Millions have 
been slaughtered within the last two years on that 
Continent. Blood has flowed like Rivers of water. 
Human suffering and woe have been beyond con- 
ception. All because man in the age in which I 
live is "wandering^' in the land of Nod, into which 
Cain went to get his wife — the race is "wandering" 
in the land of the carnal senses, in thought. It is 
a carnal age. The mind of the serpent prevails in 
thought. It is an age of greed, avarice, selfishness, 
vanity, hatred, murder and death, in thought. The 
sex m_ind prevails in the consciousness of the race. 

The Satanic mind is controlling the thought 
and consciousness of the race. The race, as a race, 
is within the city that Cain builded in conscious- 
ness and thought — and has been since the serpent 
— the sex mind, deceived the first woman, and the 
first man. And the race will continue to "wander" 
in this land of Nod — the land of the carnal senses, 
and murder, slaughter and kill each other, until 
the sex mind — the land of Nod, into which Cain 
wandered, is overcome in thought and conscious- 
ness. 

Selfishness, avarice, greed, vanity, strife, 
hatred, malice and death will control the action 
and thought of the race until man comes out of 



—30— 



the land of Nod, into which Cain "wandered'' in 
thought and consciousness. Our Lord said, "These 
things must be," wars will continue, economic and 
industrial strife will still remain with the race and 
oppression and injustice will be a part of our sys- 
tem of living until the race comes out of the land 
of Nod — the carnal senses in thought into which 
Cain went. When the race shall have returned 
from this land of the carnal senses, and this city 
of the lust senses which Cain builded in thought 
and consciousness, the race will cease to slaughter 
and murder each other. When the race returns 
into the city of Abel, and into the land of the spir- 
itual senses in thought and consciousness, there 
will be no more strife, no more oppression and no 
more injustice and war. 

In the city of Abel, which is the city of the 
spiritual senses and soul thoughts, brotherly love 
prevails and the language of that city is spiritual. 
Every note of music in that city is attuned by 
angelic thoughts and every vibration is of spiritual 
sense. It is the city and land of peace. In the 
city of Cain in thought and the city of Abel in 
thought, is the law of all thoughts and of all lan- 
guage. The entymology of all languages, of all 
ages and of all races is founded upon the law of 
thought within these two cities — the law of spirit 
and the law of the carnal senses. 

All thoughts are either spiritual or carnal, and 
language is the symbol of thought, and all lan- 
guages are therefore founded on the law of spir- 
itual thoughts and the law of carnal thoughts.^ 

The city of Abel is the city of the spiritual 
senses. It is the city of God. In this city of 
thought, only spiritual ideas are conceived in con- 



—31- 



sciousness — only spiritual thoughts come into con- 
sciousness. All thoughts flow from God in the 
city of Abel — there is nothing carnal in thought 
and consciousness in this city, and this is the city 
of God. 

In the city of Cain the carnal and lust senses 
prevail in thought. There is not a spiritual thought 
conceived in consciousness in the city of Cain. All 
thought is of the carnal and lust senses in the land 
of Nod into which Cain went to get him a wife. 
And in this land they are marrying and are "given 
in marriage." Vanity, strife, selfishness, confusion, 
murder and death prevail in this city of carnality. 
In this city jealousy is the law of thought. There 
is nothing holy in thought and consciousness within 
this city of the carnal senses. Within this city of 
the carnal senses they marry and are "given in 
marriage,'^ conceive mortality and propagate mor- 
tal offspring of "mud and clay," and all return to 
dust. 

In the city of Abel there is not a carnal 
thought that prevails in consciousness. All is spir- 
itual in thought and they neither "marry nor are 
given in marriage" — there is nothing sensual in 
thought in this city, and all within this city are 
the children of God. Seth was brought forth in 
the place of Abel; "And Adam knew his wife again 
and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For 
God, said she, hath appointed me another seed in- 
stead of Abel whom Cain slew. And to Seth, to him 
also there was born a son; and he called his name 
Enos: then began men to call upon the name of 
the Lord." Gen. 4:25-26. 

Seth means "seed" or "germ." He is the "seed" 
of the carnal man by which the physical man is 



propagated. "The children of Seth," is equivalent 
to, and means the "children of mankind/^ that is, 
carnal propagation. Seth means "noise" and "tu- 
multuous." The carnal senses are full of noise and 
confusion. All the strife and turmoil of this life 
are within the sex mind and the sex brain and 
the physical man is propagated through the desires 
of the sex mind and in gratification of the sex 
brain. This is "Seth," that was brought forth 
through carnality in the place of Abel, the Soul. 
Cain and Seth, in thought, propagate the physical 
man. "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty 
years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his 
image, and called his name Seth." Adam's "image" 
was carnal. His ideas were carnal and he begat 
Seth through carnality, and thus Seth was in his 
image. 

It is the law of nature that "like begets like." 
That which is in the consciousness of the carnal 
parents when begetting and conception takes place, 
will be within the consciousness and mind of the 
offspring. The more carnal the parents are, the 
more carnal the offspring will be. The converse 
is likewise true. The more spiritual the parents 
are, the more spiritual the offspring will be. 

The blessed Virgin, the Mother of our Lord, 
overcame carnality and sex lust absolutely and 
completely and therefore conceived our Lord spir- 
itually. She overcame carnality completely and 
could converse, and did converse with angels who 
were holy and spiritual. She had to be in this spir- 
itual state of mind and thought before she could 
conceive spiritually. The fact that she had over- 
come the carnal senses in thought and conscious- 
ness enabled her to commune spiritually with 



—33— 



angels who were spiritual beings, and in this state 
of holiness she conceived our Lord spiritually. It 
is the law of nature that that which is in the mind 
of the parents will determine the mind of the 
offspring. 

The author knew of a case of a girl who was 
very much in love with a young man; we say love, 
but we mean thereby sexually attracted to him. 
There is no love of the senses, all love is of the 
Soul, and spiritual. This girl and young man were 
very much attracted to each other sexually. He 
was poor and the girFs parents objected to her 
marrying him, because he was poor. There was 
another man of wealth who lusted for this young 
woman. He desired her body for the purpose of 
gratifying his lust. For this is what marriage is. 
The parents made the girl marry the man of 
wealth. She had no opportunity of being with the 
poor young man who she desired sexually and 
wanted to marry. They were separated and it was 
a physical impossibility for him to know her sex- 
ually and to be the father of her child, because he 
was separated from her and the distance was such 
a length that they had no way of communicating 
with each other, yet her first child, who was a girl, 
when she grew up to womanhood was the very 
"image and likeness" of the man whom the mother 
wanted to marry. The mother afterwards admitted, 
when she was having sex relations with her hus- 
band that she had the man whom she first loved 
in her mind and thoughts, that his image was 
before her mentally when her child was conceived. 
Hence the child was the image of the man who was 
not her father. Jacob practised this same law of 
sex psychology upon his father-in-law. He changed 



-34— 



the color that was to be in the presence of the 
female sheep when they conceived. In this way he 
determined the color of the lambs. 

We knew of a case where an innocent and 
ignorant husband, and most all of the human race 
are ignorant as to what the Bible means, came 
home to his wife, who was some several months 
with child. He had an artificial snake in his pocket 
and thought he would play a joke upon his wife 
and have some fun out of her. He threw the arti- 
ficial snake, which looked natural, into his wife's 
lap; she saw it, jumped and screamed, and threw it 
upon the floor. When the child was born, it was 
natural from its waist up to its head. From the 
waist down it looked like a snake. The child died. 

This is the law of sex psychology. The image 
in the mind of the parents when the child is being 
begotten and conceived, and the image in the mind 
of the mother while carrying the child, determines 
the mind and the thought and character of the 
child. All are conceived in lust and therefore all 
come under the law of death. Lust is in the con- 
sciousness, and the mental image of all propaga- 
tion here in the flesh, and hence all are under the 
law of sin, lust and death. The nearer the parents 
overcome lust and the sensual, while begetting the 
child, the less the child will have to overcome. The 
Blessed Virgin, who conceived our Lord, overcame 
lust completely, and hence her conception was a 
perfect spiritual conception. 



CHAPTER III. 

Seth was after the "image of Adam" because 
Adam was the carnal man. Cain and Seth t^^e 
death and carnality by which and through which 
the human race is propagated and as the result all 
that is human and material "return to dust.'^ 
"Idol" means "Image." Idolatry is the carnal im- 
ages, or ideas, of the lust senses in the mind. 
Idolatry is the carnal ideas of the sex mind. This 
is the land of Nod into which Cain went in thought 
and consciousness when he got him a wife. Every 
man goes into this land of Nod, that is, into the 
land of the carnal and sex senses, when he gets 
him a wife. 

Every man and woman go into a state of 
idolatry in thought and consciousness when they 
beget and conceive a human child. They have the 
carnal ideas and images of the sex lust senses and 
sex brain in thought while they are co-habiting 
and during the sex relations, and this mental image 
of the sex senses is imparted to the mind of their 
offspring. John said, "Little children, keep your- 
selves free from idolatry." The Jews were con- 
tinually and continuously going into a state of 
idolatry, that is, into a state of carnality, and the 
Prophets cried out against this state of lust and 
sensuality. Jesus preached against it, and so did 
the Apostles. The making of physical things to 
represent the ideas of these carnal images was 
what the Jews did. They erected "bulls" and other 
statues representing carnal and lustful beasts. The 



figures of these beasts represented the carnal ideas 
and carnal thoughts within their sex brain and 
carnal minds. The religions of all the pagan ages 
were based on this law of carnality. 

Every human child is conceived in a state of 
idolatry. The sex of all animal life is permeated 
with this law of sensual ideas and thoughts. It is 
the city that Cain built, and men and women are 
building the same city today. They have builded 
the same city in all ages. It is the city of carnal 
thoughts. This city is within the sex brain — that 
is, the city of carnal thought is located within the 
generative organs and the lust senses of the brain. 
Men and women who dwell in this city of carnal 
thought bring forth their mortal offspring and pay 
homage to their offspring, .and weep when the 
offspring returns to dust. 

The cemeteries of the ages were builded within 
the city of idolatry in thought, within the city of 
the carnal and sex brain. When this city shall 
have been overcome in thought, there will be no 
more human propogation and the kingdom of 
Heaven will be at hand. That is what our Lord 
prayed for in the Lord's prayer, when he said, 
"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as 
it is in Heaven.'' The will of the Father is spiritual, 
his thoughts and ideas are spiritual thoughts and 
ideas, for His will to be done, the city of idolatry, 
which is sex lust in thought, must be overcome. 

His will can never be done until the last 
thought and idea of carnality and sex lust are elim- 
inated from the mind and consciousness. When 
the serpent — the dragon — is completely cast out of 
consciousness, the will of the Father shall have 
been done. When the last thought, idea and desire 



—37- 



of the sex brain and mind are cast out from the 
consciousness of the soul, then the will of the 
Father shall have been done. "Thy will be done on 
earth as it is in Heaven/^ The "earth" here is the 
same "earth'' that man was told to have "dominion'^ 
over, and to "subdue." The "earth" is the carnal 
and lust senses of the sex brain. 

When the sensual shall have been cast out of 
consciousness, the Father's kingdom will come, and 
His will will be done on "Earth as it is in Heaven," 
and His kingdom shall have been realized in 
thought and consciousness. When this state of 
spiritual understanding shall have been reached 
there will not be a lust thought and idea in the 
consciousness of the soul. When the mind of the 
dragon shall have been cast out of consciousness, 
the kingdom of God will be at hand. When the 
last idea and thought of the sex brain and the lust 
senses shall have been cast out of consciousness 
there will be no more death, and the serpent, the 
"babbler," through the lust senses of the brain and 
the generative organs shall cease to speak to the 
soul, and carnal thoughts and ideas shall cease to 
be things in the consciousness of the soul; and the 
soul, the man in "God's image," shall come into 
the complete consciousness of God. the Father, who 
is Spirit, and commune with him through spiritual 
sense. 

If the Lord's prayer could be realized here and 
now, there would be no more sex copulation be- 
tween sexes — and the Satanic Kingdom would end, 
and the Kingdom of God would be at hand. If the 
mind of the serpent were overcome in thought by 
the race, humanity as a race would come into the 
Christ mind and all ages of sin and death would 



-38— 



cease; for there would be no cities of Cain — no 
more mortal propogation; but as men are lustful, 
they will continue to gratify the lust of the flesh 
until this age of sin destroys itself. 

"But woe unto the woman that is with child 
in that day," said our Lord. For this city of the 
carnal senses into which Cain went, to get his wife, 
must be overcome for the soul to know God. God 
told Abraham that if there were ten righteous peo- 
ple in Sodom that He would save Sodom — that He 
would not burn Sodom up. "Righteousness" is de- 
rived from the Greek word which means to think 
right, that is, to think spiritual thoughts and ideas, 
and not carnal thoughts and ideas. Carnal thoughts 
and ideas are heresy. Heresy comes from the two 
Greek words meaning to think error, that is, the 
thoughts of the carnal and sex brain. 

The "righteous" are those who think only spir- 
itual ideas and thoughts. The cities of Sodom and 
Gomorrah are within the sex brain and sex senses 
of every man and woman. Every man and woman 
after the age of puberty are carrying the cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrah around with them within 
their generative organs and their lust senses of the 
brain. These are the cities of idolatry. These are 
the cities in which carnal thoughts, ideas and im- 
ages which are contrary to God's will and His 
spiritual laws, are conceived. Carnal ideas must 
first be conceived in the mind of the sex brain 
before material things can be made to represent 
them to the physical senses. 

The more sensual a race is, the more cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrah they build. The more sen- 
sual an age is, the more cities of Sodom and 
Gomorrah it builds. The age in which I write is 



-39- 



a sensual age. Sodom and Gomorah are every- 
where. The cities of sensuality have builded high 
their fortifications. Kansas City, Missouri, where 
I now reside, is a citv of neariv half a million 
people. I have resided here during the six years 
I have been writing my books on the Bible. I have 
walked her streets hungry and have gone from 
place to place to find a stenographer in order to 
get my ideas on paper. Money was everywhere, 
but I could get no financial aid from any source. 
She had millions to spend in the gratification of 
the senses. Her vaults were builded high with 
gold and silver to be expended on the pleasure of 
the senses and lust, but not a dollar could I secure 
to get my ideas on paper, and to the world to teach 
men the wav of truth and to lead them awav from 
lust and death unto life; and from the cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrah to the City of the New Jeru- 
salem — from the sensual to the spiritual. Her 
churches are many and her ministers plentiful, and 
fortunes are spent in maintaining them. Her peo- 
ple go to their churches Sunday and return as 
ignorant as they went as to what the Bible is 
about, and as to what Sin is and what Salvation is. 

If the clergy were to tell the people what the 
Bible was about thev would soon have no churches, 
no congregation and no pay, for the people are too 
sensual to receive the truth — the gospel as Jesus 
preached it, w^hich is the giving up of sensuality in 
thought and act, for spirituality — the overcoming 
of the "beast." What is true in Kansas City today 
is true throughout the world; it is a carnal age, 
hence, all the world is in confusion, mental and 
physical. 

Confusion, destruction and death are the law 



—40— 



of thought of the sex brain — the serpent. This is 
the mind of Cain and Seth. It is the mind that 
produced original death. This mind was a "liar" 
in the beginning and "abode not in the truth/' 
saith our Lord. It is the mind by which Eve 
brought forth Cain and Seth and said she had con- 
ceived of our Lord. She had conceived Cain and 
Seth in the gratification of her sex and lust de- 
sires — the serpent's mind and not of the spiritual 
mind — and this carnal mind was here, a "liar" to 
the soul. 

Women today are gratifying the lust of the 
flesh and claiming that it is of God, and have in 
all ages since Eve. The serpent is a "liar" and 
damns the soul. Eve said her carnal conception was 
of God. This was the "lie" of the carnal senses 
and the mind of the serpent. It was not of God. 
It was not spiritual — but carnal. It was not of God 
but of Satan. All carnal conception is of Satan 
and sex lust. Eve means the "mother of all the 
earth," that is, the mother of all that is carnal. 
^^Earth" here means the carnal creation. Every 
material woman is an Eve and every material man 
is an Adam, and their carnal conceptions are not 
of God — but of Satan, and hence, man must be born 
again (of the spirit) to see God. 

This Cain mind goes into the land of the 
senses, which is the land of Nod, marries and is 
"given in marriage," begets and conceives the car- 
nal man in its own image, which is the image of 
the Adamic creation, and is "Seth," that is, the 
image of the lust of the flesh. 

The Cain mind in bringing forth the image of 
Adam, murders the soul — Abel. Every mother with 
her baby in her arms has builded her carnal city 



u- 



and this city of carnality she has named Enoch, 
that is, in carnal thought, she has her idol. She 
has named it after the carnality of her own lust, 
as Cain did in the beginning. The arms of the 
mothers of the earth are filled with babies, the 
offspring of the Cain mind. These mothers have 
gone into the land of Nod, and in this land of the 
lust senses have builded their cities of carnality in 
the gratification of the lust of the flesh, and are 
carrying the results of their thoughts physically 
around in their arms. 

This is the curse that God pronounced upon 
the "earth" — the "earth" that God cursed was the 
"earth" that man was told to "subdue and have 
dominion over." The "earth" is the carnal senses, 
and when man failed to refill and have "dominion" 
over the "earth," and to "subdue" the lust of the 
flesh, God "cursed" the "earth." As the result of 
that curse, the race is eaten up with syphilis dis- 
ease mentally and physically. The curse of the race 
had its origin in lust. This lust mind, which is the 
mind of Cain, fills the arms of mothers of the 
human race with babies, then when they grow up 
to physical manhood the "Seth" mind of "noise 
and tumult" creates confusion in thought and pro- 
duces war, disease and pestilence, and mows them 
down and sends them to the grave. The carnal 
mind produces them and then destroys them. 

While I write all Europe is confusion, the Cain 
and Seth mind is cutting down the cities that the 
mothers carried in their arms a few years ago. A 
few years ago the babies that the mothers carried 
in their arms are being destroyed today as physical 
men by war. Carnality conceived them as mortal 
beings and carnality is destroying them as mortal 



—42- 



beings. But the spirit is neither conceived by the 
natural parent nor destroyed by physical offspring. 
It is spiritually conceived and of God. God is its 
father, and v^hen the Carnal creation shall have 
been overcome in consciousness and thought, the 
Spirit will come into the consciousness of its father- 
hood and the kingdom of God. 

"And it came to pass, when men began to 
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters 
were born unto them, that the sons of God saw 
the daughters of men that they were fair; aAd they 
took them wives of all which they chose. And the 
Lord said. My spirit shall not always strive with 
man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be 
an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in 
the earth in those days; and also after that, when 
the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, 
and they bare children to them, the same became 
mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And 
God saw that the wickedness of man was great in 
the earth, and that every imagination of the 
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 
And it repented the Lord that he had made man 
on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." 
Genesis 6, 1-6. It was the Cain mind that 
caused man to begin to "multiply" on the earth. 
The lust of the flesh had carried man into the land 
of Nod. He had gone into the carnal senses in 
thought, "The sons of God saw the daughters of 
men that they were fair." This was the law of 
thought of the spiritual man who was made in 
God's image yielding to the gratifications of the 
lust of the flesh. The desire to gratify the sex act 
took man, whom God made in his image, out of 
Paradise, which was his spiritual state, into the 



—43- 



land of Nod, which was the land of the carnal 
senses, and spiritual death. "And they took them 
wives, all of which they chose." Man whom God 
made in his image and who was spiritual, had to 
leave his state of spiritual truth in thought and con- 
sciousness before he went into the land of Nod, and 
of the carnal senses, to take a wife. 

But when man left Paradise and his state of 
spiritual truth in thought and consciousness, he 
yielded to the desire to gratify the carnal senses by 
committing the sex act, and to gratify this desire 
produced the mating of the sexes, and the desire to 
gratify the passion of the senses through the sex 
act has produced all the cities which Cain has 
builded — all the carnal offspring of the race. 

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was 
great in the earth, and that every imagination of 
the thought of his heart was only evil continually." 
The carnal imaginations are located in the sex mind 
and the sex brain. These carnal imaginations are 
the images of the lust of the flesh. They are idol- 
atry. All idolatry is located in the sex brain and 
the lust senses. Carnal images and Inst desires 
flow from the sex brain, and man bows dov^n to 
these images in thought and consciousness, and 
goes away from God into the land of Nod and spir- 
itual death. 

"Wickedness" is carnality. It is the ideas and 
thoughts which flow from the sex brain. "Wick- 
edness" is the evil that Adam and Eve came into 
the consciousness of when they indnlged the sex 
act. All "wickedness" flows from the sex brain. 
Evil thoughts are carnal thoughts, and carnal 
thoughts are "wickedness." Carnal ideas are the 
images and ideas of the sex brain, and these carnal 



"44 — 



ideas and images are spiritual death to the soul, 
hence the Lord said, "My spirit shall not always 
strive with man." If man would have the spirit of 
God he must overcome the carnal and sensual in 
thought. If man would have the spiritual ideas 
and thoughts of the divine mind within the con- 
sciousness of soul, he must overcome the images 
and ideas of the sex brain and lust desires within 
the consciousness of the soul. 

Man cannot entertain within the consciousness 
of the soul the spiritual ideas and thoughts of the 
divine mind and the carnal ideas and thoughts of 
the lust of the flesh at one and the same time. 
Hence, our Lord said, "You cannot serve God and 
mammon." God is spirit and mammon is the lust of 
the flesh. All material wealth, government and in- 
dustries of human societies are builded on mam- 
mon, that is, the thoughts and ambition of the sex 
brain. Our Lord said, "You cannot serve the lust 
of the flesh and God at one and the same time." To 
serve God means that you should be holy in 
thought, and to serve mammon means that you 
must be carnal and lustful in thought. One is life 
and the other is death. ' 

When every thought of carnality and lust and 
idea and image of the sex brain are excluded from 
the consciousness of the soul, man is in the image 
of God. This is the atonement — the at-one-ment 
with God. When the soul is filled with the ideas 
and images and thoughts of carnality, it is sep- 
arated from God in consciousness and is in the land 
of Nod, and is spiritually dead. Hence, our Lord 
said, "The children of this world marry and are 
given in marriage: but they which shall be ac- 
counted worthy, to obtain that world, and the resur- 



-45- 



rection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given 
in marriage: neither can they die any more: for 
they are equal unto the Angels; and are the chil- 
dren of God, being the children of the resurrec- 
tion." Luke 20:34-36. 

The children of this world is the soul in its 
fallen state going in thought and consciousness into 
the land of Nod, and yielding to the gratification 
of the lust sense. The children of this world in 
thought and consciousness are all within the land 
of Nod. The children of this world are *Vander- 
ing" around, lost in consciousness and thought of 
lust, and "bowing down" in thought and conscious- 
ness to the ideas and images that flow from the sex 
brain. They all are within the Cain mind in 
thought and are marrying and are "given in mar- 
riage" and dying spiritually. The Cain mind is a 
murderer, and all who are within the land of Nod 
in thought and who are living for the Cain mind 
are spiritually dead. 

The children of "that world" are those who 
have returned in thought and consciousness from 
the land of Nod to the land of Eden, They have 
returned from the land of the carnal senses to the 
land of the spiritual senses. "Resurrection" means 
a restoration to life. All who are in the land of 
Nod are dead. All who are in Eden are alive. 
Those who have returned to Eden have overcome 
the Cain mind and every thought and idea of lust 
and sensuality. 

All who overcome the ideas, images and 
thoughts of the sex brain in consciousness have 
overcome death. They have been resurrected. They 
have new ideas and new thoughts and these ideas 
and thoughts are spiritual and this is the Gospel. 



-46— 



Gospel means "good news," and news means "new 
ideas." All who have overcome the old carnal mind 
of Cain in the land of Nod, and have returned to 
Eden, have new ideas, and these new ideas are spir- 
itual, and these spiritual ideas are new and good; 
they are the Gospel. All who have obtained the 
Gospel have overcome sensuality, and "they neither 
marry nor are given in marriage." 

A minister of the Gospel is a man who has 
overcome sensual ideas and thoughts of the Cain 
mind and has returned to Eden, and has only spir- 
itual ideas and thoughts in the consciousness of his 
soul. He cannot be a minister of that which he 
does not possess, and he does not possess the Gospel 
until he overcomes the ideas, carnal thoughts and 
images of the sex brain within the consciousness of 
the soul. When he overcomes the images, desires 
and thoughts of the sex brain within the conscious- 
ness of the soul, then he has the new ideas of the 
divine mind and these ideas are spiritual. Then 
he can minister these spiritual ideas to others. 

A man who is a father cannot be a minister of 
the Gospel until he overcomes the sensual that 
caused him to be a father. The man that occupies 
the same bedchamber with his wife on Saturday 
night cannot preach the Gospel on Sunday. A min- 
ister of the Gospel must live above marriage and 
giving in marriage in thought and consciousness. 
A man who is marrying and giving in marriage 
and living in the carnal senses of the land of Nod 
in thought and consciousness cannot be a minister 
of the Gospel. He is a "false prophet." He is a 
"wolf in sheep's clothing." These are the "false 
prophets" of which the Master spoke. 

A minister of the Gospel should be so pure in 



—47- 



thought as not to appeal to the opposite sex, sex- 
ually. The Master at thirty years of age, when he 
was anointed by the holy spirit, overcame the sen- 
sual completely, then he became the Christ — he 
was thirty. At twelve years of age he said to his 
mother in the temple, "Knowest thou not that I 
must be about my father's business." He had then 
come into puberty. The thoughts and ideas of the 
sex brain had begun to unfold into his conscious- 
ness. The ideas and images of the lust senses had 
begun to unfold into consciousness. He had to be 
about his father's business to overcome these im- 
ages of the beast in thought and consciousness. 



—48- 



CHAPTER IV. 

At thirty years of age, the male comes into 
maturity of his sex forces. At thirty years of age 
the male is stronger sexually than ever before, if 
he is a normal man. Jesus was a normal man, 
sexed as normal men are sexed. He was about his 
father's business from twelve until thirty and 
undergoing all the temptations of the serpent's 
mind. The ideas and images of the sex brain made 
every effort to penetrate the consciousness of the 
thought of his pure soul. At thirty years of age 
he overcame the mind of the serpent and triumphed 
over the Cain nature within him, and the Holy 
spirit came upon him, and through the power of 
the holy spirit, his pure soul overcame every 
thought, idea and image of the sex brain and mind 
of the serpent. He became the essence of purity 
in thought. He became the Christ, that is, the 
"anointed," which means "the life of God,'' or 
"God's life." He was "the life" of the father be- 
cause He overcame death. He was purity because 
he had overcome the sensual, in his consciousness. 
There was not a carnal thought or desire in his 
pure soul. The ideas and thoughts of his pure soul 
were spiritual and holy, and this made him the 
Gospel — that is, the new ideas and the holy mind 
of the Father. 

He was the "Word of God," because he in 
thought and consciousness was the mind of God. 
Words are the symbols of thoughts. Word is the 
symbol of a thought. Speech is the symbol of 

V. ' u' "^ '-'-' —49— 



ideas. In thought and consciousness he thought 
the ideas of his father and these ideas within the 
consciousness of his soul were holy and spiritual, 
hence he was the "Word" because he was the es- 
sence in thought of the Father's mind — the essence 
of purity itself, and his ministers to be the min- 
isters of the Gospel must likewise be pure. They 
must live above the carnal and lust in desire and 
thought. A minister of the Gospel is one who has 
overcome every carnal desire as did the Master. 

Those who have overcome the "Prince of this 
world" in thought and consciousness are Chris- 
tians. All who have overcome the ideas, and 
images and thoughts of the sex brain in thought 
and consciousness are Christians, and they "neither 
marry nor are given in marriage," and "neither 
do they die any more." They have been resurrected 
to life and have overcome death. 

This is the reason the early Christians did not 
marry and did not propogate. They understood 
the teachings of their Master. And for teaching 
the truth as he taught it, they were crucified, and 
burned at the stake. For teaching the truth as the 
Master taught it, they were scattered here and 
there, in little bands and companies, and wor- 
shipped in caves, cellars and the catacombs at Rome 
and wherever they could meet in secret. 

"The prince of this world," which is the lust 
of the flesh, was ever seeking their blood. I can 
understand why there was so little written about 
our Master. I can thoroughly appreciate the na- 
ture of the Gospels, and the Acts and Epistles of 
the New Testament and the Revelation of St. John. 
These saints were writing for the humble saints, 
who were scattered here and there and fleeing 



—50- 



from the persecution of the "Prince of this world." 
A man who would preach the truth today as 
the saints of the early churches preached it, would 
be persecuted as they were persecuted. He could 
not get a hearing from the carnal minded world 
bowed down to the image and ideas of the beast 
in thought. They would kill a Christian today as 
then. The Author has gone hungry in an effort 
to right the truths that Jesus preached. He has 
suffered ostracism for them and borne ridicule for 
them, while millions were being squandered on 
sensuality and wealth, he could not even get the 
money to pay the printer's bill to have his books 
printed. He is now heavily in debt for this pur- 
pose. He couldn't get a hearing in the press. The 
idea was ostracised by the daily papers. They are 
supported by the sensual of the race, as are all 
commercial and industrial enterprises. The social 
order of society is founded on the sensuality of 
today, as it was when Jesus lived. 

Jesus said, "Now shall the Drince of this 
world be cast out." John 12:31. "The prince of 
this world" is the Satanic mind which says to the 
soul that there is pleasure in the senses of the 
orgasm of the sex act. When this thought is cast 
out of the belief and consciousness of the soul, the 
"prince of this world" is cast out, and the soul 
becomes a Christian. "The prince of this world" 
is cast out of the thought and consciousness of 
Christians. "The prince of this world," which is 
the thought of the orgasm of the sex act within the 
consciousness of the soul has diseased the race and 
filled the insane asylums. The orgasm of the sex 
act destroys the nerve system and the cells of the 
brain. It produces the insane and the diseased. 



—51— 



When the belief in the pleasure of the orgasm of 
the sex act is overcome the race will be pure, and 
non-diseased and non-insane. This thought must 
be overcome in consciousness for the race to be 
pure and to overcome insanity and disease. As 
the soul overcomes this thought and the senses in 
consciousness, the soul overcomes evil and becomes 
holy and can commune with God. The holy soul sees 
God face to face through spiritual sense. It is only 
the carnal senses and the belief in the pleasure of 
th(S orgasm of the sex act that prevents the soul 
from seeing God with spiritual sense and being con- 
scious of God and his presence. The holy soul is as 
conscious of God through spiritual sense as the 
"Prince of this world" is conscious of matter and 
the carnal man through material sense. The car- 
nal man becomes conscious of the material world 
through the material senses. The soul becomes 
conscious of God through soul and spiritual sense. 
But the "Prince of this world'' must be cast out 
of consciousness for the soul to be conscious of God 
through the law of spiritual sense. The Patriarchs 
of old by overcoming the "Prince of this world'' 
and the carnal senses communed with God, face to 
face, through the spiritual senses of the soul. 

Jesus said, "What does it profit a man if he 
gain the whole world and lose his soul, or what 
will a man give in exchange for his soul." "The 
whole world" is the orgasm of the sex act. All 
things carnal move, live and have their being in 
this thought. When this thought is overcome the 
Kingdom of Heaven will be at hand. To live for 
this thought is to surrender up the soul in thought. 
It is to exchange the soul for the senses. It is to 
exchange death for life. 



-52— 



"Orthodoxy" means "righteousness," that is 
right thoughts, and correct thinking. Correct 
thinking is soul thoughts. It is of spiritual sense. 
Heresy comes from two Greek words meaning to 
think error. Heresy is carnal thoughts. It origi- 
nates in the sex brain. Heresy is the thought of 
the orgasm of the sex act. All the evils of the race 
originate in this thought. The heretic lives for 
the carnal senses. The orthodox man lives for 
the soul senses. When man exchanges the spiritual 
for the carnal, he is exchanging life for death. He 
gains the pleasures of the senses but dies spirit- 
ually as the result. 

The author has had to tramp from place to 
place and dictate his ideas as he could find a 
stenographer here and there to take them. This 
accounts for the irregularity of his writing. He 
could not get the money to employ a stenographer 
regularly to carry on his work, and he could not 
write with his hand, so as to write a book that 
way, owing to an injured spine from the result of 
five operations. Our efforts to get the ideas of 
the Truth of the Bible to the world has given us 
the opportunity to understand how the Bible was 
written, and why the saints were persecuted. To 
believe the Bible, you must believe that sin is 
sensuality and lust. To accept the Bible, you must 
accept the truth that Christianity is the over- 
coming of sensuality and lust. The carnal minded 
world will not accept this truth, hence, it will not 
accept the truth of the Bible, nor the truth of 
Christianity. It is pagan in thought, that is, 
carnal in thought. 

"And the Lord said. I will destroy man whom 
I have created on the face of the earth." Gen. 6:7. 



—53- 



"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." 
God sent the flood and destroyed the race on ac- 
count of lust and sensuality. Jesus said that "They 
were eating, drinking and marrying and giving in 
marriage until God sent the flood and destroyed 
them all." The race was destroyed by the flood 
as the result of the race wandering in the Land of 
Nod, and marrying and giving in marriage and 
indulging in lust and sensuality. This was the 
"Wickedness" that was on the face of the earth. 
Carnality and lust prevailed in the thought and 
consciousness of the race, "And God sent the flood 
and destroyed them all." You cannot read the 
book of Genesis from the beginning until the flood, 
intelligently, and spiritually, without discerning the 
cause of the flood. 

The race grew "weaker and wiser." It grew 
"Weaker" as it yielded to carnality, and "Wiser" 
as it yielded to the lust senses of the flesh. The 
longevity of human life was rapidly decreased. 
Originally man lived to be over nine hundred years 
of age, and was gradually reduced down to about 
a hundred years before the flood. Whether these 
years were our years or not is immaterial. It is 
not material whether or not the longevity of a year 
was the same as the longevity of a year now. 

The fact is that the longevity of human life 
was rapidly decreased as the result of sensuality. 
And in our present day, it has been reduced to the 
present short period of human life, as the result of 
lust. The serpent's mind destroys both body and 
mind and murders the soul spiritually. The dis- 
eases and ills of the race have their origin in sen- 
suality. 

"The daughters of men looked fair to the sons 



—54- 



of God/' and they married and were "given in 
marriage," and every "imagination" of "their heart 
was evil," and "God sent the flood and destroyed 
them all," "But Noah found grace in the eyes of 
the Lord." "Grace" means the gift of God, and 
this gift of God is life, and we have this life of 
the father, as we overcome the images, ideas and 
thoughts of the sex brain within the . consciousness 
of the soul. It was a sensual age when God sent 
the flood. It was a diseased age, it was a wicked 
age. 

The "imagination" and ideas and thoughts of 
the sex brain of the race were within the con- 
sciousness of the souls. They were living for sen- 
suality. They were in the land of Nod, indulging 
lust and the sensual. "Every imagination" of their 
hearts were sensual in thought. Noah, in this age 
of sensuality "Found grace in the eyes of the 
Lord." The "Eyes of the Lord" are not material 
eyes. The Father of spirits does not see with the 
senses of the material eye. His eye is spiritual, 
and is everywhere present. His eye is mental, it 
is mind. It is thought, and its vision is holy. The 
man he created in his image is spiritual and he can 
see God, the. Father, with the spiritual eye of the 
mind, if he will only overcome the carnal ideas of 
the senses; and God, the Father, beholds him as 
the spiritual being, whom he made in his spiritual 
image with an eye divine. He beheld Noah with 
this spiritual vision, for Noah had overcome the 
veil of the carnal senses. He was "Righteous," that 
is, he thought spiritual thoughts and not carnal 
thoughts. He conceived spiritual ideas, and not 
carnal ideas within the consciousness of his soul. 

Noah had overcome the ideas, thoughts and 



-55- 



images of the sex brain within the consciousness 
of his soul, and God beheld him, with His holy 
vision and spiritual eye. Thus God commanded 
Noah to make the x\rk and prepare for the flood. 
Water is the emblem of purity. Hence, God de- 
stroyed the earth with water. All the race was 
impure. All impurity is within the sex brain. 
The impurities of the body have their origin within 
the sex brain. 

The virile have to bathe much. All impurity 
of thought has its origin in the sex brain. Water 
is used to bathe the body and to cleanse the body 
from the physical impurities of the virility of the 
sex brain. Water, therefore, is emblematic of 
purity. Jesus was baptised in water for this pur- 
pose. His real and true baptism was spiritual. The 
Holy Ghost is the true baptism. The Holy Ghost 
takes from the soul every idea and thought of 
carnality. It purifies the soul in thought and con- 
sciousness from the sensual. 

The Holy Ghost is the Comforter that Jesus 
said the Father would send in his name, and he 
said he, that is, the Holy Ghost, will lead you into 
all truth. That is, will cleanse the soul from 
every carnal thought and desire. This is the real 
and true baptism. Water baptism which cleanses 
the physical body from the filth of virility of the 
sex brain is emblematic of the spiritual baptism of 
the Holy Ghost, which cleanses the soul from every 
carnal and lust desire. The flood was emblematic. 
It was the emblem of water baptism. That is, the 
age was carnal and sensual and God sent the flood 
and destroyed it by water. 

The destruction of the race by water was the 
emblem of purification. It needed purification. "All 



the earth was corrupt." The "Earth'' here was the 
same "earth'' that man was told to "subdue" and 
have dominion" over. "Earth" was the lust of the 
flesh. And all the race had become carnal and lust- 
ful, that is, corrupt. And the destruction of the race 
by the flood was emblematical of the fact that it 
needed spiritual purification. 

Water baptism is emblematic of the same 
truth. The virile and well sexed person has im- 
purities continuously generated in the body. The 
sex fluids permeate physical body. Such a person 
needs frequent baths to cleanse the physical man. 
These impurities of sex virility within the physical 
man is symbolic of spiritual impurity. The body is 
carnal and therefore the thought is carnal. The 
well sexed and virile person has more to overcome 
in thought than the less virile. Sex virility is the 
physical man, and all corruption is within the sex 
virility, both physically and spiritually. 

The spiritual purification of the mind purifies 
the body physically. If carnal thoughts are not 
held in consciousness, the body will become purer. 
When carnal thoughts are held in consciousness, 
the sex fluids are generated which permeate the 
whole body and makes both body and mind impure. 
When carnal thoughts permeate the consciousness 
anc* the mind of the soul, the sex virility generates 
the sex fluids which feed the carnal senses and 
permeates the body and thought in consciousness 
and both body and mind become corrupt. The 
state of the mind is reflected in the body. The 
carnal state of the race has diseased the race. All 
the race was corrupt when God sent the flood and 
destroyed it. The flood was emblematic of puri- 
fying the race. The physical purification of the 



race by water baptism is emblematic of spiritual 
purification of the soul through the baptism of the 
holy spirit. 

The baptism of the holy spirit is the eradica- 
tion of every lust thought and desire from the 
consciousness of the soul, which purifies the soul 
from all carnal consciousness and thoughts. The 
soul thus purified is conscious of God and can see 
God and understand God as spirit through spiritual 
sight and the spiritual senses of the soul. 

Jesus overcame every carnal thought and 
carnal desire when he received the baptism of the 
holy spirit, and was anointed. In his mind and 
soul, he was holy and perfect. He never thought 
a carnal thought nor had a carnal desire, after 
he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. From 
twelve years of age until thirty, he lived the holy 
life of overcoming the serpent in thought and lust 
in consciousness. And when he had overcome the 
lust mind of the serpent completely in thought and 
consciousness, he received the baptism of the Holy 
Spirit, which made him the Son of God. 

Jesus' spiritual body was so purified by the 
Holy state of his mind that John the Baptist cried 
out when he saw the Lord coming, to be baptised 
in Jordan, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh 
away the sins of the world." Me loves to think of 
that thought. We love to behold in our mind's eye 
the picture of the Master as he appeared to John, 
the Baptist. He was so pure in thought that his 
physical appearance was purity itself. The law of 
the thought of the soul was written upon his face. 
He was so pure that when John the Baptist saw 
him he knew he was the son of God. This state of 
purity was within the consciousness of the soul of 



— 5S— 



the Master and his body and face reflected the 
state of thought of his soul. The Master had 
overcome the suggestion of the lie of the serpent 
that there is pleasure and life in the carnal senses 
of the sex act. The act which is the essence of i:he 
mind of the serpent and which is the cause and the 
moving force of all carnal actions of man, did not 
appeal to him, nor tempt him in thought . nor de- 
sire. Hence his physical body reflected the purity 
of the consciousness of his soul. By this law he 
healed the sick. 

There can be no sickness, disease and death 
unless the soul believes the lie of the serpent that 
there is pleasure and life within the sex act. If 
the mind believes this lie of the serpent, then the 
soul is subject to spiritual death and the body to 
physical disease. If the mind believes the lie of 
the serpent that there is pleasure in the carnal 
senses, it must also accept the lie, there is pain in 
the carnal senses. 

There can be no pleasure in the senses unless 
there is pain in the senses. For every supposed 
pleasure there must be pain. If there be life in 
the senses of the sex act, then there must be death 
within the carnal senses. There can be no life in 
the carnal senses, unless there also be death in 
the carnal senses. The lie of the serpent, that 
there is pleasure within the senses of the sex act, is 
the supreme lie of the senses, hence, childbirth is 
the supreme pain of the senses. 

The belief of the lie of the serpent, that there 
is life within the carnal senses of the sex act, is 
the supreme lie of the serpent, hence, death follows 
as the supreme lie of the serpent. Our Lord over- 
came this supreme lie of the serpent that there is 



—59— 



pleasure and life within the senses of the sex act. 
Hence, he was not subject to the law of disease and 
death. He was so perfect and holy in his own state 
of consciousness that he cast out of others the lie 
of the serpent, that there is pleasure and life within 
the sex act and healed them. If you could eradicate 
from the consciousness of the race and the thought 
and belief of the race, that there is pleasure and 
life within the senses of the sex act, you would 
eliminate from the race disease and death. If the 
race should become so spiritual that it disbelieved 
in the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure and 
life within the senses of the sex act, the race would 
overcome the law of disease and death, and go out 
of the material body without death, as Jesus did on 
the Mount of Ascension. All of the Master's Heal- 
ing was governed by this spiritual law. He was so 
spiritual and Holy in His own state of consciousness 
that he cast out the lie of the serpent that there is 
pleasure and life within the senses of the sex act 
from the consciousness and minds of others, and 
healed them., and restored them to their right 
minds. The moment that he cast out of their con- 
sciousness the thought and belief that there is 
pleasure and life within the senses of the sex act, 
they were made whole and restored to their right 
minds. 

They were not subject to the law of insanity 
and disease when their souls were purified; and 
the lie of the serpent that there is life and pleasure 
in the senses was eradicated from the consciousness 
of their souls. We see this law daily demonstrated 
before us. Go to any insane asylum and the female 
inmates thereof, who have become insane from 
over sex indulgence, will cry out to every man that 



-60- 



passes in the most vulgar terms, to come to them 
and to satisfy their sex passions. 

The female will expose her person to any 
stranger of the opposite sex and demand sex gratifi- 
cation without any modesty whatever. In thought 
and consciousness, she is under the law of the 
serpent. She believes there is life and pleasure in 
the senses of the sex act. Her soul is in outer 
darkness spiritually; she is in the same state of 
thought and consciousness of "earthbound" spirits 
who have passed into spirit life. The "earthbound'' 
spirits, that is, spirits that have not overcome the 
lust of the flesh while here in the material body, go 
into spirit life, believing the lie of the serpent, that 
there is life and pleasure within the senses of the 
sex act. They are in a carnal state of consciousness 
and spiritually in outer darkness. They are lost. 
They are insane in thought and consciousness just 
as the insane in thought and consciousness are, who 
inhabit our insane asylums, while living. 

Go to any insane asylum and there you will see 
men chained and shackled to prevent them from 
practicing "self abuse." They have accepted the 
lie of the serpent that there is pleasure in gratifying 
the senses of the sex act in the violation of the 
laws of nature. They have become insane. Their 
souls are in that state of consciousness wherein 
they are ^^ibject ^^ the law of the carnal senses. 
The inmateij of tke insane asylums are there as the 
result of the lie of the serpent. They have accepted 
the lie of the dragon, that there is pleasure and life 
within the senses of the sex act, and their souls 
have come under that law of thought and they are 
spiritually dead, and diseased both in mind and 
body. Jesus healed this class while on earth. The 



-61— 



Master was so holy in thought and consciousness 
that he cast out of their thoughts the belief of 
pleasure and life in the gratification of the senses 
of the sex act, and restored them to their right 
minds and healed their physical bodies. The apos- 
tles and the early Christians restored the insane 
to their right minds and healed the sick by the 
same spiritual law. The saints have done it in all 
ages. But the saints are those who have been 
liberated from bondage and slavery to carnality. 
They have been emancipated from lust. They 
have overcom.e the lie of the serpent in mind and 
thought, that there is life and pleasure in the 
gratification of the carnal senses in the sex act. 
That is what the word "Saint'^ means. It 
comes from the Greek word meaning to set free, 
to emancipate. It means spotless and without 
blemish. The etymology of the word, spiritually 
speaking, m.eans to be set free, and liberated in 
thought and consciousness, from every lust desire 
and carnal thought of the sex lust of the flesh. 
This is "Sanctification.'^ Only those are "Sancti- 
fied" and are "Saints" who have overcome every 
thought and desire of the sex lust of the flesh. 
And those who have overcome this lie of the ser- 
pent, that there is pleasure and life within the 
senses of the sex act, have healed the sick and 
restored the insane to their right mind in all ages. 
Moses did it, the Prophets did it, Jesus did it, and 
the Apostles did it. True Christianity in all ages 
will do it. There was no insanity, no disease and 
no death until man who was made in God's image 
accepted the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure 
and life within the senses of the sex act, and when 
this lie is overcome there is neither disease nor 
death.

CHAPTER V. 

The gods of the heathens were the gods of 
the sex senses and the lust senses of the brain. 
These gods were the ideas and images made upon 
the consciousness of the soul through the sensation 
of the carnal senses. This is idolatry. All the 
pagan temples are simply the manifestation physi- 
cally of the thoughts within the consciousness of 
the soul, and which came into the consciousness of 
the soul through the sensation of the carnal senses. 
All of the material gods that the pagans con- 
structed represented the thoughts within the con- 
sciousness of the soul and which came into the 
consciousness of the soul through the sensation of 
the carnal senses. And the pagan gods are with us 
today as of old and will be until the carnal senses 
are overcome in thought and every idea and image 
of the carnal senses are banished from the con- 
sciousness of the soul. 

Physical blindness is emblematic of spiritual 
blindness. Physical deafness is emblematic of spir- 
itual deafness. Physical dumbness is emblematic 
of spiritual dumbness. When Jesus opened the 
physical eyes of the blind and gave them physical 
sight, it was only emblematic that he was opening 
their souls, blinded carnally, and giving them 
spiritual light. When he opened their physical ears 
and restored them to hearing, it was only emblem- 
atic that he was opening their spiritual ears that 
were deaf through carnality, and giving them 
spiritual hearing. When he loosed their dumb 

—63— 



tongues, so they could speak physically, it was only 
emblematic that he was loosing their souls from 
carnal dumbness so they could speak with spir- 
itual sens^ and understand with spiritual under- 
standing. For the diseases which produce physical 
deafness, dumbness and blindness come from the lie 
of the serpent, and the belief is the lie that there 
is pleasure and life within carnality. 

The race has been diseased physically in all 
ages due to this lie of the serpent and the race will 
be diseased physically until it overcomes this lie of 
the serpent and comes into spiritual understanding 
and the mind of the Christ. 

The physician was originally a priest. Materia 
Medica will not heal the sick. Material law will 
not heal the sick. Material law is of the carnal 
senses. If the race would overcome disease the 
physician must become the priest, as he was origi- 
nally, and all the race spiritually must become 
priests, and spiritually overcome the lie of the 
serpent, that there is pleasure and life in the grati- 
fication of the carnal senses. When the race shall 
have reached this degree of spiritual understanding 
there will be no more insane asylums, hospitals 
and jails. The race will not need them. This is 
the mission of Christianity. But the race will be 
diseased and insane and criminal as long as the 
race accepts the lie of the serpent, that there is 
pleasure and life in the gratification of the carnal 
senses. 

Orthodoxy is of the soul. It is spiritual ideas. 
Heresy is of the sex brain. It is carnal ideas. 
There is sin and death, but they are within the sex 
brain and sex mind, and when the mind and 
thought of the sex brain and sex mind have been 



—64— 



overcome in consciousness and thought, sin and 
death will be no more. 

There are two kinds of oracles. These oracles 
are of the sex brain and of Soul. They are the two 
states of thought. The pagan oracles had their 
temples of prophecy. Their state of understanding 
was of carnal and sex senses. Their wisdom was 
within the mind of the sex brain. This is sooth- 
saying, witchcraft and divination. The temple of 
Diana at Epheses was one of these temples of sex 
worship, and soothsaying. The worship in these 
temples was sex worship. The pagans realized 
that there could be nothing holy conceived through 
this worship. They knew there could be nothing 
holy conceived within the mind of the generative 
organs. They knew that the conception and 
thought and mind of the generative organs were 
evil. Hence they had their gods conceiving 
and bearing children through their heads. They 
knew that all that is holy had to be spiritually 
conceived. Hence, the pagans had the gods con- 
ceiving through their heads, without sensual inter- 
course. They knew that all that was conceived 
through sexual intercourse and of the carnal was 
unholy. The carnal senses with them were their 
oracles. They prophesied through the wisdom of 
the carnal senses. 

It was not so with the Hebrew prophets. They 
became so spiritual that they overcame the oracles 
of the carnal senses and the sex brain in thought 
and consciousness, and spoke through the wisdom 
and spiritual understanding of the Soul. Their 
prophesies were of soul sense and spiritual under- 
standing. Their oracles eminated from the Soul, 
and not the carnal senses, and with this spiritual 



—65- 



understanding, they overcame the sex mind com- 
pletely in thought, and subdued the "Earth'' — that 
is — overcame the sex brain in thought and con- 
sciousness. Enoch was translated by this law from 
the material body without natural death. By 
overcoming the oracles of the carnal senses and of 
the sex brain, and coming into the oracles of the 
wisdom of the soul, the prophets healed the lepers 
and foretold the coming of the Christ. 

Spiritual understanding today can only be 
ascertained by the race as it overcomes the oracles 
and thoughts of the sex brain, and comes into the 
understanding of the oracles of the spiritual senses 
of the soul. "And the whole earth was of one 
language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, 
as they journeyed from the east, that they found a 
plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 
And they said one to another, Go To, let us make 
brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had 
brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And 
they said. Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, 
whose top may reach unto Heaven; and let us make 
us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the 
face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down 
to see the city and the tower, which the children of 
men builded. And the Lord said. Behold, the people 
is one, and they have all one language; and this 
they begin to do: and now nothing will be re- 
strained from them, which they have imagined 
to do. 

"Go to, let us go down, and there confound 
their language, that they may not understand one 
another's speech. So the Lord scattered them 
abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: 
and they left off to build the city. Therefore is 



— 66— 



the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did 
there confound the language of all the earth: and 
from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon 
the face of all the earth." Gen. 11:1-9. 

"These are the families of the sons of Noah, 
after their generations, in their nations: and by 
these were the nations divided in the earth after 
the flood." Gen. 10:32. Noah was ''Righteous" and 
obtained "grace with the Lord." He was Spiritual. 
"Righteousness" is spirituality. He obtained 
"grace with the Lord" because of his non-sensu- 
ality. Because Noah overcame the Cain mind, and 
obtained righteousness, he found "Favor with the 
Lord." "Noah found grace in the eyes of the 
Lord." Gen. 6:8. 

The remainder of the human race was so 
lustful, sensual and wicked that God destroyed 
them all. They were worshiping idols, that is — 
the carnal ideas and images of the sex brain. "And 
God sent the flood and destroyed them all." After 
the flood "Wickedness" was destroyed from the 
face of the earth. Lust had comparatively gone 
out of the consciousness of the race. But it didn^t 
take the Cain mind long to obtain control of the 
hearts of men. They were soon bowing down to 
Baal — that is, worshiping the lust thoughts and 
desires of the sex mind and sex brain. 

When the flood was over and the waters 
had receded, "The whole earth was of one lan- 
guage and of one speech," that is, the whole race 
was spiritual, and had one mind, and that was the 
Soul mind. Those who had come out of the Ark, 
and their immediate descendants, were spiritual 
and non-sensual in thought. They had "one lan- 

—67— 



guage" and "one speech/^ that is, they had one 
mind and that mind was spiritual. 

Language is emblematic of thought, it is the 
expression of thought. When the ideas and 
thoughts are spiritual, the language that expresses 
them is spiritual. When the ideas and thoughts 
are carnal, the language that expresses them is 
carnal. The immediate descendants of Noah were 
spiritual, and their thoughts and language were 
spiritual. But it did not take them long to become 
carnal, and then confusion set in, and their lan- 
guage became carnal, and they could not under- 
stand each other. The "Earth" here out of which 
they made brick to build the tower of Babel is 
the same "Earth" that man was told to "Subdue" 
and have "dominion" over. It was the carnal and 
lust senses and the "slim_e" was the filth in thought 
of the sex brain. 

The entire metaphysics of this language is 
sensual and non-sensual in thought. It is the Abel 
and Cain mind in thought. "And they said one 
to another. Go to, let us bake brick and burn 
them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, 
and slime had they for mortar." 

This language is the metaphysics of the carnal 
mind expressing itself for the desire of sex grati- 
fication. It is the Cain mind expressing itself in 
thought and murdering the soul. It is the meta- 
physics in thought of every man and woman who 
gratifies the sex passion. The "Earth and the 
mortar" are the carnal senses and the "slime" is 
the filth in thought, thereof. "And they said. Go 
to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top 
may reach unto Heaven." This is the metaphysics 
of passion and lust. The city that they builded was 



-68- 



the same city that Cain builded and named after 
his carnal son Enoch. It is a city of sex passion, 
and carnal ambitions and desires. Men and women 
are building cities today dedicated to the same 
carnal state of consciousness and thought. Men 
and women today are building within the sex brain 
the same tower of carnal thoughts and desires. 

They have builded these cities of carnality and 
erected these towers of lust in all ages and been 
diseased and insane as the result. They wanted to 
reach Heaven through this city of the carnal senses 
and tower of lust desires. They want to consecrate 
the gratification of the sex passion as divine and 
supremely good. 

Men and women today and in all ages have 
attempted to consecrate the gratification of the 
sex passion as supremely good. They have at- 
tempted to make Heaven out of Hell and God out 
of Evil, and to realize harmony out of discord. 
With them the gratification of the sex passion and 
lust desires is the supremely Good and Heaven, 
but this is the lie of the serpent. It is death and hell. 

"And the Lord came down to see the city and 
the tower, which the children of men builded. And 
the Lord said, Behold the people is one, and they 
have all one language; and this they began to do, 
and now nothing will be restrained from them 
which they have imagined to do.'' They had "imag- 
ined'' in their lustful and carnal and wicked hearts 
that the gratification of sex lust was good. They 
were worshiping the carnal senses. They were ac- 
cepting the lie of the serpent as the truth, and God 
said, "Nothing should be restrained from them 
which they have imagined to do." He is thus speak- 
ing to man today and has thus spoken to them in 



—69— 



all ages. As they "imagined" carnal desires within 
their sex brains and desire the gratification of the 
lust of the flesh, he withholds his spiritual mind 
and spiritual ideas from the consciousness of their 
souls and lets them "go to it" in the gratification 
of the sex lust of the flesh, and spiritually die as 
the result. As they "imagine" carnal desires in 
their sex brain and long for the gratification of 
the sex lust of the flesh, they go out of his pres- 
ence in thought and consciousness into spiritual 
darkness and death. 

God said, "Go to, let us go down and there con- 
found their language, that they may not under- 
stand one another's speech." As men leave God in 
thought and consciousness, they go into the carnal 
senses in thought and consciousness and become 
confounded and confused in thought and under- 
standing. As men become carnal, God casts them 
out of his spiritual presence. As they lose God's 
spiritual ideas within the consciousness of their 
souls, they come into the possession of carnal ideas 
within their souls and are confounded and confused 
in thought and cannot understand God and any- 
thing that is spiritual. 

"So the Lord scattered them abroad from 
thence upon the face of all the earth and they left 
off to build the city. Therefore, is the name of it 
called Babel, because the Lord did confound the 
language of all the earth." The Hebrew Babel is 
the same as the Greek Babylon. Babylon was the 
ancient city of sensuality and lust. It was the cen- 
ter of carnality and sensuality of ancient times. It 
is therefore taken as the symbol of lust. It is used 
in the Bible to type the city of sensual thoughts 
and lust desire of the sex brain. All through the 



—70— 



Bible it is used as the symbol of sensuality and lust. 
The city of sensuality is the city that they had 
builded. This city was built within the carnal 
"imaginations" and lust desires of their sex brains. 
To this city all the merchants of the earth have 
brought their merchandise in all ages. 

The merchandise and commerce of the world in 
all ages have been conducted in this city of lust 
and sensuality. It is the city of thought, and that 
thought is carnality. It is the city of confusion, 
and the thought of that city is lust. It is the city 
of ambition, and the thought of that city is vanity. 
It is the city of pride, and the thought of that city 
is selfishness. 

Within this city all the wares of the ages have 
had their origin. Within this city all the strife 
and confusion of the ages have been produced. 
Within this city all of the injustice and oppression 
of history have been produced. The evils of the 
race originate in this city of carnality. Within 
this city the diseases and insanity which have af- 
flicted the human race have been conceived. It is 
the opposite of the city of the New Jerusalem. The 
New Jerusalem is the city of God's ideas. The New 
Jerusalem is the city of spiritual thoughts and de- 
sires. The New Jerusalem is the city of God. 

Babylon, or Babel, is a city of Satan. The New 
Jerusalem is the city of the Soul, or Abel. Babylon 
or Babel, is the city of Cain. 

As we come into the Christ mind and overcome 
carnality and lust in thought, we leave the city of 
Babel, or Babylon, and go into the city of the living 
God, which is the city of the New Jerusalem. As 
men go into the city of Babel, or Babylon, which 
is the city of carnal thoughts, they no longer have 



'1— 



one language, but many languages. They have 
many languages, and these languages are the car- 
nal senses and are confusion. 

While I write, all Europe is within the city of 
Babylon, or Babel, in thought and confusion, and 
death reigns there. Men are falling fast and thick, 
murdered and dead, throughout Europe as the re- 
sult of the senses. The age is within the city of 
Babel, or Babylon. The race in the age in which I 
write resides in thought and consciousness within 
the city of their sex brains, which is the city of 
Babylon and the city of the carnal senses and as the 
result, confusion of thought, death and hell rage 
practically throughout the civilized world. This 
state of thought is of the Satanic mind. And these 
conditions follow as the result. 

Our Lord said, "These things must be," and 
they will continue until the race, as a race, comes 
out of this city of carnality and the lust senses in 
thought. Hence, war, confusion, plagues, disease 
and insanity will continue with the race until the 
end of time. These conditions will continue until 
they destroy themselves. They will continue until 
the mind of the serpent destroys them all, and then 
the stars will fall and the firmament will roll back 
like a scroll, and time will be no more. "But woe 
be unto her who is with child in that day." Woe 
be unto them who are residing within this city of 
carnal thoughts and lust desires in that day of 
final judgment. "And as they led him away, they 
laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming 
out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, 
that he might bear it after Jesus. And there fol- 
lowed him a great company of people, and of wom- 
en, which also bewailed and lamented him. But 



Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusa- 
lem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and 
for your children. For, behold the days are coming, 
in the which they shall say. Blessed are the barren, 
and the wombs that never bear, and the paps which 
never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to 
the mountains, fall on us; and to the hills, cover 
us." Luke 23:26-30. The Master here referred to 
the day of the general judgment and the awful 
condition of those who shall not have come out of 
Babylon into the city of the New Jerusalem. This 
day was typed when the Roman army destroyed 
Jerusalem. 

His language refers to the spiritual death of 
those who are still living in the city of carnal 
thoughts and lust desires. Spiritual death is their 
fate. They shall be shut out from the presence of 
God. They shall have no spiritual understanding 
of God. They shall have no spiritual ideas with- 
in the consciousness of their souls. They shall 
have the image of the "Beast,'' which is carnal 
ideas within the consciousness of their souls. They 
shall be in Babylon, or Babel, which is the city of 
lust and sensuality in thought. 

The "Saints" shall be in the city of the New 
Jerusalem, which will be the city of spiritual ideas 
and spiritual thoughts. There will be no carnality 
there and no night. The City of Babylon will be 
the city of darkness, because it will be the city of 
Evil; that is, lust in thought. Evil only operates 
in the dark. Babylon will be the city of darkness 
and spiritual death. 

"Now the serpent was more subtle than any 
beast of the field which the Lord God had made. 
And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said. 



—73- 



ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Gen. 
3:1. The serpent was the creation of the "Lord 
God." The creation of the "Lord God" is the crea- 
tion of the carnal senses. Babylon is the creation 
of the "Lord God." The "Tower of Babel" is the 
creation of the "Lord God." This is the material 
creation. It is the "Earthly" creation. It is the 
Adamic creation, and it is carnal in nature. The 
creation of "God" is spiritual, and the "City of 
God" is a spiritual city. It is the city of the New 
Jerusalem. This city is neither carnal nor sensual. 
The creation of the "Lord" is Man, banished from 
the spiritual presence of "God" on account of sens- 
uality. The creation of the "Lord God" is the spir- 
itual state of the fallen angels who rebelled against 
God's holy nature. The creation of the "Lord God" 
is the spiritual state of the angels, whom God cast 
out of his presence on account of sin, which is lust 
in nature. 

It was "God" who told man, made in his image, 
that he should not partake of lust, and it was the 
"Lord God" who made the serpent and the beast. 
The spiritual creation is of the nature of God, and 
is holy and spiritual. The creation of the "Lord 
God" is the spiritual state of the fallen who con- 
ceive lust in thought. These two creations ran all 
through the Bible. They prevail in all thoughts on 
this plane of existence. 

In Paradise all thought is holy. It is the na- 
ture of the mind of God. In "Hell" all thought is 
carnal. This is the state of fallen spirits, who were 
cast out of the presence of God. This is the crea- 
tion of the "Lord God." It is the creation wherein 
God has cast his spiritual being out of his spiritual 
presence for having sinned. 



—74— 



The creations of "God" and "Lord God" in 
Genesis are clear, and they run all through the 
Bible. In Revelation, all who have overcome the 
"Beast" return to the presence of God, and are in 
Paradise. They have overcome sensuality, and are 
in the New Jerusalem. All who have not overcome 
the "image of the beast" and the creation of the 
senses, which is the creation of the "Lord God," 
are in outer darkness. They have no spiritual 
understanding. "He that overcometh shall inherit 
all things; and I will be his God. and he shall be 
my son." Rev. 21:7. He that has overcome the 
"Beast," which is the creation of the "Lord God," 
shall inherit all things, and God will be his father, 
and he shall be the son of God. He is no longer 
cast out of the presence of God, which is the crea- 
tion of the "Lord God," but he has overcome the 
lust of the flesh, and has returned to the spiritual 
creation of Gbd, and "shall inherit all things." 
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abomina- 
ble, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sor- 
cerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their 
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brim- 
stone: which is the second death." Rev. 21:8. 

This is the creation of the "Lord God." It is 
the state of fallen spirits whom God has cast out 
of his presence for having sinned and yielded to 
sex lust. All that is "abominable" is within the sex 
brain. "Murder" is within the sex brain. "Whore- 
dom" is within the sex brain. "Sorcery" is within 
the sex brain. "Idolatry" is within the sex brain. 
"Falsehood" is within the sex brain. All these 
things constitute the "false gods," which the man 
made in God's image and who is spirit, was told not 



to yield to in thought. These are within the carnal 
senses. 

The first commandment says, "Thou shalt have 
no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3. The "gods" 
here that man is told he shall not bow down to are 
the carnal senses of the sex brain, and the lust 
senses. When he yields to these "false gods" in 
thought, then he violates all the other command- 
ments. When he yields to the opposite sex in the 
gratification of his passion, he is violating the first 
commandment. To gratify the sex passion, man 
will violate all the other commandments; he will 
steal, lie, cheat and murder to get the woman that 
he desires for the purpose of gratifying his sex 
passions. When the woman breaks the first com- 
mandment, she will break all the other command- 
ments to get the man she desires sexually. 

When men and women violate the first com- 
mandment, they will then break all the other com- 
mandments; but as long as they observe the first 
commandment and keep their souls pure and are 
not defiled by lust and sensuality in thought and 
act, they will observe all the other commandments. 
All hatred is within the sex; therefore, man must 
yield to the "other gods," which is the sex brain in 
thought, before he commits murder. As long as he 
observes the first commandment, he will not kill. 

All hatred is within the sex. As long as man 
does not bow down to "other gods," and yield to the 
sex in thought, he will not hate, but will love. All 
deception is in the carnal mind, and so long as man 
keeps himself free from carnality in thought, he 
will not bow down to "false gods" and bear false 
witness. Every lawyer knows you cannot believe 
the testimony of a prostitute or a man who prac- 



—76— 



tices self abuse. All lust is in the sex brain. As 
long as a man keeps himself pure, he will not bow 
down to the "other gods" of the sex brain in 
thought and commit adultery. 

All dishonesty is within the sex brain. As long 
as man keeps himself pure from carnal thoughts 
and does not bow down to "other gods" of the car- 
nal senses, he will not steal. All covetousness is 
within the sex brain, and as long as man keeps 
himself pure in thought and does not bow down to 
the carnal and the "false gods" of these senses, he 
will not covet that which belongs to others. 

The Sabbath day is the eternal day of spiritual 
rest. It was the state of consciousness berfore the 
serpent mind entered into thought. All that God 
created was "good and very good," and when he 
had finished his spiritual creation, which was "good 
and very good," it was the Sabbath. The Sabbath 
was not violated until the thought of lust entered 
into consciousness; hence, our Lord said, after he 
had overcome the mind of the serpent and become 
the Christ, that he was the "Lord of the Sabbath," 
and healed them everywhere on the Sabbath, 

The non-sensual is the Sabbath. To violate the 
Sabbath, you must break the first commandment. 
So long as man keeps himself pure and does not 
yield in thought to "other gods" and serve the car- 
nal senses of the sex brain, he will keep the Sab- 
bath holy. So long as man serves God, his spiritual 
father, and does not yield in thought to the carnal 
senses of the sex brain, he will keep the Sabbath 
holy. All who keep the first commandment and do 
not yield to "other gods" and serve the carnal senses 
of the sex brain, shall overcome and shall inherit 
"all things," and God will be their Father and they 



shall be His Sons. But those who violate the first 
commandment and yield to "other gods," and serve 
the carnal senses of the sex brain in thought and 
act, will violate all the other commandments. They 
will steal, they will lie, they will commit adultery, 
they will bear false witness, they will murder, they 
will violate the Sabbath day, which is spiritual, and 
break all the commandments. 

"Those are the fearful, and the unbelieving, 
and the abominable, and the murderers, and the 
idolaters, and liars that shall have their part in the 
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone and 
which is the second death." "The fire and brim- 
stone" are the carnal and lustful thoughts in the 
consciousness of their souls. They are out of the 
presence of God, spiritually. They are in the crea- 
tion of the Lord God. "The Beast," that the "Lord 
God" made, controls their state of consciousness. 
And this "Beast" is the mind of fallen spirits, and 
this mind is carnal in nature. 

The creation of God was a "Creation," and this 
creation was spiritual. Gen. 2:3. The creation of 
the "Lord God" was a "Formation," and this 
"Formation," which was material, is of the senses. 
Gen. 2:7. This record of "Creation" and "Forma- 
tion" runs all through the Bible; one is spiritual 
and the other is carnal. It was God who told Eve 
that she should not eat of the tree of the forbidden 
fruit. It was the "Lord God" who said it is not 
good that man should be alone. This is the crea- 
tion of the senses.

CHAPTER VL 

The only "birth control" is the purity of the 
soul, and the only "eugenics" that will save the race 
from disease and insanity is the Christ mind within 
the consciousness of the soul. 

The children of Israel, while "wandering" in 
the wilderness, multiplied in population greatly. 
Robert G. Ingersoll, the great agnostic, used this 
as an argument against the Bible. He said that their 
numbers, while in the wilderness, could not have 
increased to the extent claimed by the Bible. He 
said that the increase was too great to be true. The 
Great Agnostic had no spiritual understanding as 
to what the "wandering" in the wilderness by the 
Jews meant. They were wandering within the car- 
nal senses and their carnal increase was their spir- 
itual darkness. It was their wilderness of spiritual 
darkness. 

The fact that they increased so rapidly car- 
nally was the reason that they were "wandering" 
in the wilderness. Carnality made them spiritually 
blind. Gibbons, the great agnostic and historian, in 
his history of the rise and fall of the Roman Em- 
pire, admits this fact as a spiritual law. He ad- 
mits that when Rome was in the noonday of her 
glory, that her people were pure. That the carnal 
was only indulged sexually for the purpose of 
propagation, but when Rome became carnal and 
corrupt then her civilization perished. 

The true resurrection is the resurrection from 
this carnal state. This is the resurrection foretold 

—79— 



by the Psalmist. See 17th Psalm, 15th verse. It is 
the resurrection that Ezekriel saw. His vision of 
the "resurrection was symbolic. The "dry bones" 
types spiritual death. God said he would put his 
spirit in them and they should live, and he would 
place them in the land of Canan, and bring them 
into the land of Israel. Israel is the land of the 
soul and of soul sense. When we shall awake from 
this land of the "dry bones" and the carnal senses, 
we go into the land of the soul and of soul sense. 
This is the land of Israel and the land of the resur- 
rection. It is only a step from the carnal sense to 
the soul sense. I shall soon take that step. The 
veil of the senses is growing thinner with me. I can 
almost see on the other side. It is spiritual vision 
there. I hope, as the veil grows thinner, that the 
vision will grow brighter until the Morning Star of 
Glory shall rise within my soul, and then there will 
be no more night and no more sorrow and no more 
death. This is the resurrection. It is the soul in 
the holy state of consciousness and in the "image" 
of the Father and in spiritual communion with 
the Father. 

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the only true 
Baptism and the only true resurrection. It cleanses 
the soul from every lust thought and carnal desire 
of the senses, and creates "all things new" in 
thought and consciousness. This is the new crea- 
tion in the thought and desires of the soul. It is 
soul purity. With this thought within the image of 
my soul, I have kept my soul and body together 
these many years; but my body is frail. Both of 
my parents were frail when I came here. My 
m_other passed away when I was eighteen months 
old, and my father when I was nine years old. I 



—so- 



had many relatives who had good homes, but they 
had no interest in me; they had their own to care 
for and no place for an orphan child within their 
homes. They were controlled by the selfishness of 
the sex, and I was turned out into the cold world. 
I underwent many hardships and deprivations that 
my frail body would not stand. It soon told upon 
my physical condition. In growing up, when I 
reached that age when a boy should have the best 
of food and the best of care, I had neither. I lived 
off of poor food the most of the time, and many a 
time not enough of that. 

While in College, I lived for two years in a 
cheap "mess hall" and ate the cheapest and the 
poorest of food. It was the best I could do. I had no 
one to help me through college. In this frail condi- 
tion I developed a catarrhal trouble in my left ear 
during the last year I was in college. It was not 
looked after, and it developed into inflammation of 
the middle ear and finally into a mastoid trouble of 
the ear, which required four operations, and these 
operations wrecked my nervous system. This has 
made my life a burden. I have only lived through 
mind controlling matter. 

In this frail condition I have attempted to give 
the world the spiritual truth of the Bible, but the 
effort has been too great on my nerves. I could 
get no help from any source. I do not know how 
this book is going to be printed. I have a friend 
who says he will have it printed. I cannot. I have 
no means. Within Kansas City there is being ex- 
pended within one hour enough money upon sen- 
suality and lust to print and publish all of my 
books on the Bible and scatter them throughout 
the world. In this Babylon money is being used 



—SI- 



for degredation and lust. But not a cent can be 
secured for the spiritual ideas of God. 

I know that this book and all of my writings 
on the Bible will be attacked by the sensual minded 
as the days come and go. My name will be reviled 
by them. They killed the prophets, crucified Jesus 
and the Apostles. The other day while conversing 
with my friend, Dr. W. A. Swann, he suggested the 
propriety of placing a statement in this book that 
those who read it may know that in days and gen- 
erations to come who I am and the life I have 
lived. I consented to his suggestion, and his signed 
statement is herewith given as a part of this book, 
that those who read it may know of me and the 
mental attitude that I was in while writing this 
book: 

Kansas City, Missouri. 

Nov. 13, 1916. 

"I have known Mr. Sidney C. Tapp, of Kansas 
City, Missouri, some six or seven years. When I 
first knew him, he was as good as a dead man. He 
has had four mastoid operations and one for 
appendicitis. These operations completely shocked 
and undermined his nervous system, and produced 
spinal complications which affected the vasarmotor 
center. His body almost completely perished for 
want of nerve force as the result of these opera- 
tions and their effect. I never gave Mr. Tapp any 
medicine. He does not believe in medicine, but I 
am an osteopath physician, as well as a medical 
doctor, and I have frequently, as an osteopath phy- 
sician, relaxed the spinal muscles. He has con- 
tractions of the muscles as the result of the opera- 
tions. During these six or seven years in which I 



-82- 



have known Mr. Tapp, he has rebuilt his body. I 
attribute this as a result to the state of his mind. 
He has the finest texture of flesh that I ever saw. 
He has not a diseased organ in his body, nor a 
blemish on his body, except the scars produced by 
the operations. His eyes are clear and have the ex- 
pression of the eyes of a young man; and I under- 
stand Mr. Tapp is forty-six years of age. His 
mind is quick and penetrating. While his face pos- 
sesses wrinkles produced by the operations, yet it 
reflects the purity of a child. The man, physically, 
is very frail, but has one of the clearest minds I 
ever knew, and the purest flesh that I ever wit- 
nessed on a human being. I consider these as the 
results of clean thoughts and his pure life. 

"W. A. SWANN, M. D., D.O., * 

^Trofessor of Anatomy in the Eclectic Medical Uni- 
versity, Kansas City, Missouri." 

It was the "Lord God'' that caused the deep 
sleep to fall on Adam, and not "God." This sleep 
was the sleep of the senses. "And the Lord God 
caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he 
slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the 
flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord 
God had taken from man, made he a woman, 
and brought her unto the man." Gen. 2:21-22. This 
is the creation of the senses, and it is non-spiritual. 
It is the creation of the "Lord God." It is the 
creation wherein man is cast out from the presence 
of God, when he yields to the carnal in thought. 
Adam went to sleep when Eve was made, and man 
goes to sleep spiritually when the male and the 
female of the carnal creation come together sex- 

—83— 



sually. Their union is spiritual death. They go to 
sleep spiritually and die. 

The Author has known in his lifetime of many 
couples who were carnal minded and indulged sex- 
ually until they became so dead to the spiritual 
senses that they wanted to die in the carnal senses, 
and in a carnal state of thought; hence, they would 
indulge sexually until they exhausted each other 
physically and then they would embrace each 
other and turn on the gas and die in each others 
arms. This frequently occurs to the sensuals who 
are polarized sexually. The world calls it love. It 
is lust and death. 

The Author knew of a prominent Baptist min- 
ister who was a graduate of one of the leading 
Baptist colleges and theological seminaries of the 
country. He was the pastor of a leading Baptist 
church in a large city. He had married into a 
good family, and was the leader of his denomina- 
tion. He had social caste and position. He became 
sexually infatuated with a yellow girl who was the 
housemaid, and sacrificed all for her. His wife 
and friends, and church board and church officials 
tried to wake him from his stupor of sensual sleep, 
and to break the hold that this mulatto girl had 
upon him. Their efforts were in vain. He in- 
dulged and indulged with this mulatto girl for 
years, until he reached that state of consciousness 
where he wanted to go to sleep in the senses and die. 
On a night after having conducted prayer meeting 
at his church, and indulged with her, he turned on 
the gas, placed the tube in his mouth and died. The 
Clergy and Religious Press made a great to-do over 
the fact that the Reverend Doctor had committed 



14— 



suicide. They did not know why, because they did 
not know the Bible. 

This is the law of the serpent. It is the law 
of the creation of Adam and Eve. All who are liv- 
ing in the carnal senses are out of the presence of 
God and are out of his spiritual creation in thought, 
and are in the carnal creation of the senses in 
thought, which is the "Formation'' of the "Lord 
God." The "Creation" of God is spiritual. The 
"Formation" of the "Lord God" is the senses. The 
"Creation" of God is immortal mind, and the 
"Formation" of the "Lord God" is mortal mind. 
"And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, 
and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, 
because she was taken out of man. Therefore 
shall a man leave his father and his mother, 
and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall 
be one flesh." Gen. 2:23-24. Adam, the carnal man, 
said this. God did not say it. Adam is the carnal 
man talking to himself. It is the carnal senses, 
speaking to the soul. 

The senses declare this law unites the sexes of 
the carnal creation. It is lust that brings them 
together. The carnal man, deep in sensuality, is 
declaring the same law today. When they over- 
come lust, this law is broken, and they are spirit- 
ually divorced from each other as carnal beings 
and become the children of God. When they awake 
from the sleep of the carnal senses, they come into 
the light of truth, and know God spiritually. Man 
has no spiritual understanding until he is awakened 
from this night of the carnal senses which unites 
the sexes of this carnal creation. God said that 
they should not indulge these carnal senses unless 
they die. God said they should awake from this 



night of sleep of the carnal senses if they would 
live. 

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye 
shall not surely die." Gen. 3:4. This was the lie of 
the serpent. It has deceived the daughters of men 
in all generations. It has deceived souls ever since 
the angels lost their holy state and the carnal crea- 
tion came into existence. This serpent is the Cain 
mind which murdered Abel. This serpent is the 
devil, which our Lord refers to in John 8:44, when 
he says, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the 
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a mur- 
derer from the beginning, and abode not in the 
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is 
a liar, and the father of it." 

This serpent is the same Satan that Job said 
"was walking up and down in the earth, seeking 
whom he may devour." And this serpent is lo- 
cated within the sex brain and the lust senses of 
men. He is the devil. He is sex lust. He creates 
all the confusion and strife of this life. He com- 
mands the armies and the navies of the nations of 
this earth, and produces all the murder and death 
of the ages. He fills the jails, hospitals and insane 
asylums of the world. He eats up the brains and 
bodies of men with syphilis. He fills their bodies 
with sores. He takes from them their sight. He 
produces blindness, deafness and dumbness through 
gonorrhea and syphilis. He produces the lame and 
the halt, the blind and the diseased. He is the 
"Prince of this world" and the enemy of our souls. 
His is the same devil to which our Master referred 
to in Mat. 13:38, when he said,^ "The field is the 
world; the good seed are the children of the king- 



—86— 



dom; but the tares are the children of the wicked 
one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil." This 
devil is sex lust. This devil is the same devil that 
John refers to in First John 8:8-9, when he says, 
"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the 
devil sinneth from the beginning. For this pur- 
pose the Son of God was manifested, that he 
might destroy the works of the devil. Who- 
soever is born of God doth not commit sin; 
for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot 
sin, because he is born of God." The Master was so 
pure in thought that his sex seed remained within 
him. He never lost the sex fluids. He was so pure, 
and non-carnal, and non-lustful in thought and con- 
sciousness that he never lost the carnal seed. He 
was so pure that the soul of John the Baptist cried 
out when he saw him, "Behold the Lamb of God 
which taketh away the sins of the world." 

The Saints in all ages have overcome the carnal 
and become so pure and non-sensual as to retain 
their sex seed within them. They did not believe 
the lie of the serpent that there is any pleasure and 
life in indulging the carnal senses and the sex act. 
This serpent in Genesis is the same devil to which 
our Master referred in Matthew and John, and to 
which the Apostle John here refers. He is lust. 
The carnal mind is the state of thought of the 
fallen spirits. "Marriage and giving in marriage" 
and propagation here in this fallen state is the 
Satanic mind; hence, our Lord says that when they 
have been resurrected, that is, have overcome lust, 
they neither "marry nor are given in marriage, but 
are equal unto the angels, and are the children of 
God, being the children of the resurrection. All 



death is in lust. Lust is the mind - of the fallen 
spirits, and it is death. 

The Author personally knows one physician 
who, during his professional career, has taken 
three dead bodies, who died in the act, from the 
persons of women. This frequently occurs — the 
law is death. 

The president of one of the leading corpora- 
tions of this country, and who was drawing a sal- 
ary of fifty thousand dollars a year, died in the 
sex act on the person of a sporting woman in a 
hotel. The serpent is death to the man at "court 
and to the man at plow." Lust has no favorites. 

The Author knows from his own personal ex- 
perience of many other cases. Many men go into 
eternity during the sex act. The law is death. The 
Author knows of a physician who tells him that he 
presumes he has, during his professional career, 
been called to at least a hundred and fifty women 
who had lost consciousness during the sex act. I 
personally know of a woman — I knew her and the 
man well — who lost consciousness during the sex 
act, and she told me personally that her mind was 
not right for many weeks. In this state of carnal 
thought, the "image" comes into the consciousness 
of the soul and these "images" of lust remain 
there. The insane asylums are filled with men and 
women who have gone under the influence of the 
serpent during the sex act. 

They become Satanic, they have "the image of 
the beast within their foreheads." They cannot 
come out from under the influence of this "image 
of the beast." They are insane. Souls go into spirit 
life in the same state of thought, and are lost. "See- 
ing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth 



-S8— 



through the spirit unto unfeigned love of the breth- 
ren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart 
fervently: being born again, not of corruptible 
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which 
liveth and abideth forever." First Peter 1:22-23. 
The "Corruptible seed" here to which St. Peter re- 
fers is the serpent that was in Eden. It is "The 
Beast." It is lust. It is the sex fluids which are 
given forth as the result of the carnal in thought. 
It is the seed of the sex act. This corruptible seed 
to which St. Peter refers is the same seed that St. 
John says remains within those who have been 
"Born to God." They become so pure and non-sen- 
sual in thought that they retain the sex seed. St. 
Peter says, "Seeing ye have purified your souls in 
obeying the truth through the spirit unto unfeigned 
love of the brethren, see that ye love one another 
with a pure heart fervently." 

The Pure in heart are the non-carnal in 
thought. The pure in heart are those who have 
overcome the serpent, and lust. The pure in heart 
have overcome every idea and thought of the 
senses, and our blessed Lord says, "Blessed are the 
pure in heart, for they shall see God." The pure 
in heart have overcome the carnal and lust ideas of 
the flesh. They do not see with the carnal senses 
of the eye, but with the spiritual eyes of the soul, 
and they behold God as spirit through the spiritual 
vision of the soul. Love is of the soul. Hatred is 
of the serpent. Lust is jealousy. Spirituality is love. 

St. Peter says, "Being born again, not of cor- 
ruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of 
God, which liveth and abideth forever." "Corrupti- 
ble seed" is the sex fluid. This is death. The mind 
that is carnal generates the sex fluid and looses it 



-S9— 



and it is spiritual death. Hence, under the Mosaic 
law, the penalty was death to loose the sex fluids. 
"The word of God'' is God's ideas. A word is the 
emblem of an idea. We express ideas through 
words. God's idea is his word. When we over- 
come the carnal ideas of the flesh, and come into 
the consciousness of the spiritual ideas of God, we 
have the "Word of God;" and St. Peter says that 
"the word of God liveth and abideth forever." God 
is spirit, and spirit is eternal. The overcoming of 
the "Corrupt seed," which is lust and which St. 
Peter and St. John referred to, is the coming into 
the consciousness of the spiritual ideas of God» 
This is the new birth and the regeneration, "which 
were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, 
nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:13. 

This was the spiritual conception of our Lord, 
by the blessed Virgin, and we must all be spiritually 
conceived to become the sons of God. This over- 
coming of the "Corruptible seed" and the lust of 
the flesh is the "new birth" to which our Lord re- 
ferred when he said, "You must be born again." 
As we overcome this "Corruptible seed" and every 
carnal thought and lust desire, we come into the 
spiritual ideas of the divine mind and the conscious- 
ness of God as spirit, and as the father of our 
souls; and this is the regeneration — the re-creation 
of the spirit to which our Lord referred. 

The overcoming of the "Corruptible seed" and 
the sex lust of the flesh is through, and by the 
power of, the Holy Spirit, the "Comforter" whom 
the Master said "He would send in His name." The 
Holy Spirit, which is the "Comforter" eradicates 
and removes from our souls every lust desire and 
every idea of the lust of the flesh; then we behold 



—90— 



God as our spiritual Father through the spiritual 
sense of the soul, and in this state of consciousness 
we retain the sex fluids and our bodies remain 
pure, and we neither "marry nor are given in mar- 
riage;" neither do we propagate in the flesh, and 
we "can die no more." In this state of conscious- 
ness, if we become completely spiritual, we have 
power over the material law and the carnal senses 
and can heal the sick and restore the insane to 
their right minds. And if we can become entirely 
spiritual, we can ascend out of our material bodies 
as the Savior did, and as Moses did, and as Elijah 
did, and as Enoch did. 

Man and woman, as male and female, were 
joined together in the flesh as the result of the 
"fall." It is lust that makes their flesh one. That 
was what Jesus meant when he said "what God hath 
joined together, let not man put asunder." Man 
cannot put asunder; when they are sexually mated, 
there is nothing that will separate them until they 
have indulged and gratified their lust. They will 
indulge when they are sexually mated until they 
destroy each other. Artificial law cannot change 
this natural law. That is what Jesus meant when 
he referred to this passage of Scripture in Genesis. 
If they are not mated sexually, they do not become 
one flesh. They will not remain together. Their 
carnal minds are not one in thought. There is no 
union between them. When they are mated sex- 
ually, the only thing that will divorce them is the 
holy spirit. When they become spiritually pure, 
they become divorced carnally. Paul had this idea 
in mind when he said, "Honor a widow who is a 
widow indeed;" that is, a woman who has become 



—01— 



so pure that she is a widow in thought should be 
spiritually honored. 

A woman may be a widow according to the 
rules of society and law, and yet be a harlot. She 
may be a fornicator in thought. Then she is not a 
widow indeed. She is not a widow indeed until she 
has overcome carnality, and become pure in 
thought: 

The Word in Revelation says, "She is not a 
widow. She is a harlot in thought." The harlots 
in thought are everywhere. They fill the insane 
asylums. Impurity in thought diseases mind and 
body and soul. They are possessed. The Cain 
within them produces insanity and disease. Cain 
means to be "possessed," and "possession" is carnal 
thoughts and desires. Those who have these carnal 
thoughts and ideas are possessed of devils. These 
are the same devils that Jesus was casting out 
of the diseased and insane. These are the same 
devils that lead the young man and young woman 
into the churches of our supposed Christianity 
where they are married by a man who calls 
himself a Minister of the Gospel, but who, in 
fact, is a minister of the Carnal senses. It is the 
same state of thought which caused the women in 
olden times to go to the temples of sex w^orship in 
Babylon and the Orient and there fall prostrate and 
remain until some man came and accepted them 
and gratified their sex desires. It is the Satanic 
mind vv^ithin Consciousness. 

Moses granted divorcements, for "the hardness 
of the heart," that is, they had indulged carnally 
until they hated each other, and he let them sep- 
arate. The serpent produces self hatred and hatred 
of others, and especially the sex mate. 



—9: 



On the Mount of Transfiguration, Moses and 
Elijah were there with the Savior. Moses and 
Elijah had overcome the mind of the serpent and 
the "Corruptible Seed" and were translated with- 
out physical death. Hence, when the Master was 
transfigured through spiritual sense on the Mount 
of Transfiguration, they were there with the Mas- 
ter in his spiritual Transfiguration. Scholastic 
theology, for centuries and thousands of years, has 
been looking for the "Burial place of Moses.'' The 
Bible says that "the Lord buried Moses, and no 
man knows where his grave is to this day." We do 
not presume that the Scholastic theologians will 
ever find the physical grave of Moses. There was 
no physical grave for Moses. "The Lord buried 
him." "The Lord's burial" is transfiguration, the 
translation. The serpent's burial is the material 
grave. We all go to the grave, because we are 
yielding to the mind of the serpent in thought and 
consciousness. We go to the grave as the result of 
lust in our thoughts. 

If we would "Subdue and have dominion over 
the earth," that is, over lust, as God commanded us, 
we would not die materially, but would go out of 
these material bodies without material death. We 
would be translated. Enoch, Elijah, Moses and our 
Savior "Subdued" and had "Dominion" over the 
"Earth." They overcame lust in consciousness, and 
were translated. 

"The Lord buried" our Savior when he ascended 
on the Mount of Ascension. His ascension was his 
burial. And this ascension was the ascending spir- 
itually above every thought of lust in conscious- 
ness. Heaven is upward, and hell is downward in 
thought. The Jew thought hell was in the center 



-93- 



of the earth. The "Earth" is carnality, and hell 
is the center and the essence of carnality in 
thought. Heaven is spirituality, and heaven con- 
sists in the essence of the spiritual in thought. Hell 
is low thoughts — lust Heaven is spiritual thoughts. 
Hell is carnal in thought. All that is carnal is low 
and degrading in thought; all that which is spir- 
itual is high and elevating in thought. 

Heaven and Hell are laws of thought. Hence, 
our Master, when he overcame the carnal com- 
pletely in thought, so as to go out of his material 
body ascending upward, as the symbol of his spir- 
itual state of consciousness, he was above every 
carnal thought in consciousness. Hence, he went 
out of his material body, and this state of thought 
is high and elevating, hence, he ascended as he 
went out of his material body into complete spir- 
itual sense. He said he would come as he went, 
and his coming will be spiritual. 

Every carnal idea and thought will be banished 
from the consciousness of the souls of the re- 
deemed. His coming as the Christ into the con- 
sciousness of the redeemed means the banishment 
of every carnal thought and idea from the souls of 
the redeemed. Then St. John says, "We shall be 
like him." He is spiritual and we will be spiritual. 
He is above the carnal in thought, and then we will 
be above the carnal in thought. As St. Paul said, 
"Then we shall know as we are known." The Father 
beholds us with the spiritual eye and spiritual 
vision; then we shall behold the Father, with the 
spiritual eye and the vision of the soul. We shall 
see not with carnal and material eyes, but with the 
spiritual eyes of the soul, and with spiritual sense. 
The serpent will be lost in consciousness. The car- 



—94- 



nal will know us not, and we will know it not. The 
material senses will be no more to us, and we will 
be no more to them. We shall then be in the 
"image and likeness of the Father."

CHAPTER VII. 

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye 
shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the 
day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, 
and ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil. 
And when the woman saw that the tree was good 
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a 
tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of 
the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto 
her husband with her; and he did eat. And the 
eyes of them both were opened and they knew that 
they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together 
and made themselves aprons.'' Gen. 3:4-7. The 
serpent here was lust. It was the carnal mind, the 
Cain mind. The serpent said to Eve, that God knew 
that in the day she ate thereof that her eyes would 
be opened and she would be as gods knowing good 
and evil. 

The serpent said that it would be God and not 
the "Lord God" that would know this; that is, that 
the spiritual creation of which God is the Father 
would know and become wise and conscious of the 
carnal creation. "The eyes that were to be opened" 
were the carnal eyes of the material creation. The 
soul was to become conscious of the carnal senses 
of the material creation. The soul would become 
conscious of lust. "Ye shall be as gods." "Gods" 
here are the carnal senses of the sex brain. They 
are the same "gods" that man is told not to bow 
down to in the first commandment. They are the 
"gods" of carnal thoughts and ideas. These carnal 

—9 6— 



thoughts and ideas within the consciousness of the 
soul are the "gods" of the first commandment, and 
the "gods" of idolatry. They are the "gods" of sex 
worship. "Knowing good and evil" is the law of 
thought in this fallen state. Good is spiritual and 
evil is carnal. Good is spirituality and evil is car- 
nality. Good is of the soul and evil is of the sex 
brain. "Man made in the image of God" only knew 
good, but when he indulged lust he knew evil, that 
is, carnality. The "tree" that was pleasant to the 
eyes was a tree of carnality. And "the eyes" are 
the carnal senses. The tree of life is the Christ 
mind, and this "tree of life" is within Eden. This 
"tree of life" is the soul in the "image of God." 
Man had this "tree of life" until he partook of the 
"tree" of carnality, and died spiritually. 

When man shall overcome the "tree" of car- 
nality, he shall return to Eden, where the "tree of 
life" is "for the healing of the nations." The "tree 
of life" is spiritual. The "tree of death" is carnal. 
It takes the "tree" of carnality to make one wise 
as to the carnal senses and spiritual death. Eve 
"gave to her husband with her and he did eat," 
that is, they had sexual intercourse and their souls 
lost the "image of God" and died spiritually. 

"And the eyes of them both were opened, and 
they knew that they were naked, and they sewed 
fig leaves together and made themselves aprons." 
Their souls were now conscious of the carnal 
senses. Their spiritual eyes had been opened to 
the senses of carnal death. They were in a dual 
state of consciousness, and thinking both good and 
evil. They now thought both spiritual ideas and 
carnal ideas, and the battle between spirituality 
and carnality was going on within their souls, and 



-97- 



they were "ashamed." That law permeates all 
thought in this state of existence. It is as true 
today as then. 

Humanity is as "ashamed'' of evil and carnality 
today as it was then. No human formalities of 
men can change this law. No marriage cere- 
mony can change it. No forms of man can 
make lust spiritual. Marriage is not "sacred" 
but "secret." That which takes place between a 
husband and wife sexually is not "sacred" but 
it is "secret." It is "secret" because it is "evil." 
No man who has any moral consciousness and re- 
spectability would want his best friend or nearest 
relative to witness the sex relations between him 
and his wife. No woman, unless she is "abandoned" 
and had lost all hope of redemption, would permit 
another to witness the sex relation between her 
and her husband. "Shame" and "guilt" are there 
and that is the reason. "Sin" and "death"' are 
there and that is the reason. "Sacred" means that 
which is spiritual and holy. If the relations be- 
tween husband and wife were "sacred" there would 
be nothing secret about them. The woman of re- 
finement and some degree of spirituality will hide 
her face from her husband when the sex act is 
over, because she is conscious that her soul has 
been through carnality and shame and he has been 
the cause of it. 

The author has personally been told by those 
who have visited the most barbaric states of Africa 
that this law of "shame" prevails there just as 
deeply as it does in the most high and civilized 
states of society; that in some of the lowest states 
of barbarism there, that the female will hide her 
face from the male when the sex relations take 



-98- 



place, and turn her face to the ground so as to hide 
her "shame." 

The consciousness of sin and spiritual death 
are written within the soul, as the result of car- 
nality and the "fall." Every individual of the race 
has the tower of "Babel" and the cities of Babylon, 
Sodom and Gom.orrah within him. And the race is 
conscious of guilt and shame until these cities of 
lust and death are overcome within the conscious- 
ness of the soul. A minister of the Gospel could 
not preach the truth of the Bible to a carnal mind- 
ed congregation. They would not tolerate it. A 
man who had overcome carnality and lust and has 
come into the spiritual understanding of the Christ 
mind, and the spiritual ideas of God, and thereby 
became a minister of the G^ospel, could not tell this 
Gospel, this good news of the spiritual ideas of 
God, to a carnal minded congregation. 

Jesus tried this at Nazareth, his native city. 
Our Lord, after his baptism, and after he had over- 
come the mind of the serpent completely and had 
been baptised with the Holy Ghost, and had become 
the Christ, that is, the spiritual life of the Father, 
returned to Nazareth, his native city, to preach the 
Gospel to the people there. He went there to tell 
them of the new state of mind which is spiritual 
and not carnal in nature, and which is the Gospel; 
but they would not receive his message, nor would 
they receive him. 

"And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit,, 
into Galilee, and there went out a fame of him 
through all the region round about. And he taught 
in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And 
he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought 
up, and as his custom was, he went into the syna- 



-9 J— 



gogue on the Sabbath day and stood up for to read. 
And there was delivered unto hnn the book of the 
prophet Esias. And when he had opened the book 
he found the place where it was written, The 
spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath 
anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he 
hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach 
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight 
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And 
he closed the book and he gave it again to the min- 
ister and sat down. And the eyes of alLthem that 
were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And 
he began to say unto them. This day is this scrip- 
ture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him wit- 
ness, and wondered at the gracious words which 
proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, is not 
this Joseph's son? And he said unto them. Ye will 
surely say unto me this proverb, physician heal thy- 
self. Whatsoever we have heard done in Caper- 
naum, do also here in thy country. And he said. 
Verily I say unto you, no prophet is accepted in his 
own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows 
were in Israel in the days of Elias when the Heaven 
was shut up three years and six months, when great 
famine was throughout all the land; but unto none 
of them was Elias sent save unto Sarepta, a city of 
Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many 
lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the 
prophet. And none of them was cleansed saving 
Naaman, the Syrian. And all they in the synagogue 
when they had heard these things were filled with 
wrath. And rose up and thrust him out of the city, 
and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their 
city was built, that they might cast him down head- 



-100 — 



long, but he passing through the midst of them,, 
went his way." Luke 4:14-30. 

The scene that took place in Nazareth when 
the Lord returned to his native city would take 
place in any city today where a real minister of 
the Gospel would attempt to preach the Gospel. If 
a minister of the Gospel, who is a real minister of 
the Gospel, in fact, would attempt to preach the 
Gospel in truth and in fact to any congregation of 
so-called religious world, in our cities today, a 
repetition of the scene that took place in Nazareth 
as to our Lord would occur again. A true minister 
of the Gospel would be driven out of any city in 
the civilized world today if he would attempt to 
preach the Gospel in any of the so-called churches 
of any of the so-called denominations that term 
themselves Christians. 

The spirit was upon the Lord at Nazareth. He 
had overcome every thought and desire of carnal- 
ity. There was not a lust thought within the con- 
sciousness of his pure soul. He had overcome the 
lust of the flesh and death, and was the "truth and 
the life." No woman could tempt him sexually, 
Mary Magdalene tried it, if sacred history and tra- 
dition can be believed. She was the Cleopatra of 
her age. 

The officers of the Roman armies in Jerusalem 
and Judah were sexually wild after her, if tradi- 
tion and sacred history can be believed. These 
army officers of the Roman army fell at her feet. 
She was the sex force among them, just as the 
sensual minded women of the "Courts" of the 
thrones of the earth are today, with kings, mon- 
archs and commanders of armies. Woman with 
her sex force has always controlled the kingdoms 



— 101- 



of the earth, because all human sentiment is found- 
ed on sensuality. Mary Magdalene, if sacred his- 
tory and tradition car be believed, was one of those 
high class prostitutes that have always, and do 
today, grace the thrones of kings, and the palaces 
as "the first ladies of the land." 

She heard of the man Jesus, and of his teach- 
ings. If sacred tradition and history can be be- 
lieved, she boasted that this man of Nazareth, who 
was teaching these inhuman doctrines, would fall 
at her feet when she came in his presence. This is 
the pride of the carnal minded and first class pros- 
titute of thrones and kings. 

They love to see monarchs and lords fall at 
their feet. Mary Magdalene thought our Lord 
would fall at her feet. But when she came into his 
presence, her soul, which was saturated with sin, 
lust and death, cried out in despair. Instead of our 
Lord falling at her lustful feet, she fell at his gra- 
cious feet, praying for the salvation of her soul. He 
was so pure that his very presence melted her; he 
was so pure that his holy face was more than her 
sin cursed soul could resist. He granted her prayer 
and cast out of her lustful soul all sin. He cast 
'^seven" devils out of her. "Seven" was the symbol 
of completeness. She was all sin. Women of the 
courts and thrones of all ages have been. She was 
all sin and the Savior forgave her sins and cleansed 
her soul from every lust thought and carnal de- 
sire. Hence, she was the last to leave the cross on 
which the Savior hung and the first at the sepul- 
cher on the morning of his resurrection. 

Mary Magdalene being the last to leave the 
cross and the first at the tomb on the morning of 
the resurrection represents a beautiful thought. 



-102- 



Her soul had been cleansed and purified. May we 
stay by the cross until the last thought of lust and 
sensuality has faded away in thought and con- 
sciousness from our souls. May we be the first at 
the tomb on the morning of the resurrection, when 
the day star of truth and spirit arises within our 
souls and awakens within us the new life, and makes 
all things new so we can behold God as our spiritual 
father, and be conscious of him and his presence 
through spiritual sense. That was a beautiful scene, 
as well as a sad scene, when Mary Magdalene and 
Mary, the Blessed Virgin and the Mother of our 
Lord, and the Saintly Apostle, John, returned from 
the cross. Their return from Calvary was sad, and 
yet sweet. But on the morning of the resurrection 
truth awakened within their souls and they under- 
stood it all. The resurrection is the day star of 
truth arising within our souls and casting out the 
night of darkness and sensuality from conscious- 
ness. 

Our Savior rose "in the morning" as the day 
was dawning. This was symbolic. His resurrec- 
tion meant light. It meant the day star of truth 
within the consciousness of the soul. It meant the 
morning of truth and of spirit banishing the night 
of error and lust. As the day dawns, darkness is 
banished. As the spirit arises within the soul, error 
is banished. As truth ascends within the conscious- 
ness of the soul, error, darkness and night and lust 
are banished from the consciousness of the soul. 
When the light of the resurrection morn dawns 
within the consciousness of the soul, it dispels from 
the consciousness of the soul the belief in the pleas- 
ure of the senses of the orgasm of the sex act. 
As the morning of the resurrection dawns within 



—103— 



the consciousness of the soul, every belief in the 
pleasure of the senses is banished from the con- 
sciousness of the soul and from thought. This is 
the true resurrection. It is the morning of light, 
the day of truth, and this is light to the soul. May 
we, as Mary Magdalene of old, stay by the tomb 
until the morning of the resurrection arises within 
our souls, then we shall be pure and the children of 
God. 

The Savior was just as pure in the synagogue 
at Nazareth as he was the day that he cast the last 
thought of lust and sensuality out of the conscious- 
ness of the soul of Mary Magdalene. And it was 
His holy presence and purity of face that caused the 
sensual minded congregation of Nazareth to turn 
upon him, and to lead him out of the city to the 
brow of the hill, that they might throw him down 
the hill "headlong." He said the "spirit of the Lord 
was upon him" because He had anointed him to 
preach the Gospel to the poor. The Gospel is the 
new ideas of the Spirit, and the spiritual ideas of 
God taking the place of the carnal ideas of the lust 
of the flesh within the consciousness of the soul. 
He said that the Father had sent him to "heal the 
sick and recovering of sight to the blind, and set at 
liberty them that are bruised." "The broken heart- 
ed" are the hearts deep in lust and sensuality, and 
those that have not spiritual sight, are spiritually 
blind. 

The "captives" are those that are in bondage 
to the lust of the flesh. "The bruised" are those 
that lust has cursed and ruined. They are all 
around us, eaten up with syphilis and diseased with 
gonorrhea, as the result of the original sin of lust. 
No doubt a vast majority of the congregation in 



-104- 



the synagogue at Nazareth to whom the Master 
was speaking, were diseased with "private diseases/' 
They were "bruised" and men are bruised today, 
and men have been bruised in all ages, and will be 
bruised until the original sin of lust is overcome 
and the kingdom of purity and of spiritual life has 
been realized in thought and the kingdom of God is 
at hand. 

The Author personally knew of a "broken 
hearted" woman once in his life that touched his 
heart. Her soul was deep in lust and sin. She was 
a white woman. She became deeply infatuated with 
a black negro man. She could not resist his pres- 
ence. His very presence aroused the very depths of 
hell, lust and carnality within her. As he would 
come into her presence her soul would go into the 
depths of hell. She could not resist him. She would 
yield to him, and then she would go to herself, weep 
and moan. Her tears were pitiful after her soul had 
yielded to the gratification of the lust of this black 
man. I knew the cause. She did not know that I 
knew that she was hypnotized by this black man. 
But I did. She did not know that I knew that she 
was having sexual intercourse with him, but I did. 
She did not know that I knew the cause of her 
tears, but I did, and it was the most pitiful sight 
that I ever witnessed ; yet when this black man 
would come back within her presence she would re- 
peat the same act and go into the depths of hell 
again. And then the days of weeping, moaning and 
•groaning and tears of sorrow would follow. She 
was of the "broken hearted" that the Master came 
to "heal," and for three years he walked up and 
down the hills of Galilee and Judah "healing" these 
"broken hearted," and casting out of their thoughts 



-ins — 



and consciousness all lust desires and purifying 
their souls. He has been "healing" the "broken 
hearted" ever since the serpent deceived the first 
soul and he v^ill "heal" the "broken hearted" until 
the end of time; and all who are "healed" by him 
and have their souls purified from the lust of the 
flesh shall see him face to face and live and reign 
with him. 

Suppose a man were a sure enough minister of 
the Gospel today, and should go into any congrega- 
tion and preach the Gospel as Jesus preached it, 
what do you think would happen? There would be 
"noise" and "tumult," the "image of Adam" and 
"Seth" would appear and a stampede as there was 
at Nazareth when the Master preached the Gospel 
there. No doubt a large part of the congregation 
in the synagogue at Nazareth, in which the Master 
was preaching, was diseased of "private diseases." 
They were sensual in thought. They were in a 
state of carnality, hence they turned upon him and 
led him out of the city to cast him down the hill 
"headlong." That is exactly what would happen to 
a true minister of the Gospel today, if he would at- 
tempt to preach the G^ospel as Jesus preached it. 

If a man who had overcome sensuality himself, 
and had had his soul purified from lust, and had 
come into the spiritual ideas of God and the spirit- 
ual understanding of God, should occupy the pulpit 
and were to tell the congregation that there is not 
anything spiritual about the sex relations between 
husband and wife, and that all carnality is of Satan 
and spiritual death, and that carnality and lust 
must be overcome for their souls to be purified and 
to see God, he would be run out of the city. He 
would probably be killed. Jesus was crucified for 



—106— 



teaching this truth, and the age is so carnal today, 
and man has been in all ages since the serpent 
cursed the first soul, that the race would kill any 
man who would tell them the truth as to sin and 
point out the way of salvation. There are a few 
who would accept the truth. 

A minister of the Gospel today would find a 
few who would accept the truth. A minister of the 
Gospel in all ages of the world will find a few who 
are "broken hearted," and want to be "healed" of 
lust, sin and death, and have their souls purified 
and to come into the consciousness of the spiritual 
ideas of God and live and reign with Him. But the 
race as a race is too deep in the thought of lust, 
the serpent has their souls, and they do not want to 
be emancipated from this bondage of sensuality 
and death. But there are a few ministers of the 
Gospel, there are a few only, who have overcome 
carnality and have the mind of the Christ. Most of 
those who claim to be ministers of the Gospel are 
ministers of the serpent. Most of those who have 
claimed to be the minister of the Gospel in all ages 
have been ministers of the serpent, and the most of 
those who shall claim to be the ministers of the 
Gospel to the end of time, will be ministers of the 
serpent. 

They have preached death for life, and they 
will continue to preach death for life. They have 
taught that marriage is holy and a divine institu- 
tion, notwithstanding the Master said, "He that 
looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath com- 
mitted adultery already in his heart." These are 
the "false prophets" of which the Master spoke. 
Their systems of theology are founded on sensual- 
ity. Their ecclesiastical systems are founded on 



—107 



lust and the "Prince of this world." If they were 
preaching the Gospel, and telling men and women 
that they must surrender up everything that is car- 
nal and overcome lust, and the mind of the serpent, 
before their souls can be purified and see God, they 
could not get money to build up their great finan- 
cial systems of churchology and ecclesiasticism. The 
carnal mind hates all that is spiritual, and hates 
God. The carnal mind worships lust, and will give 
money for things that are lustful, but the carnal 
mind will not contribute to support that which is 
spiritual and holy. 

"And they heard the voice of the Lord God, 
walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and 
Adam and his wife, hid themselves from the pres- 
ence of the Lord God, amongst the trees of the gar- 
den. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said 
unto him, where art thou? And he said, I heard 
thy voice in the garden and I was afraid, because 
I was naked and I hid myself, and he said, who told 
thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the 
tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst 
not eat? And the man said, the woman whom thou 
gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree and 
I did eat. And the Lord Giod said unto the woman 
what is this that thou hast done ? And the woman 
said, the serpent beguiled me and I did eat. And 
the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou 
hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle, and 
above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shall 
thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy 
life. And I will put emnity between thee and the 
woman and between thy seed and her seed. It shall 
bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel. Unto 
the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sor- 



-108- 



row and thy conception in sorrow thou shalt bring 
forth children and thy desire shall be to thy hus- 
band and he shall rule aver thee." Gen. 3:8-16. 

The "Lord God" said this, and not God. The 
"Lord God" here is the material creation. It is the 
creation of the senses. It is the creation wherein 
"God" has banished the soul from the holy presence 
for having yielded to lust and sin, which is death. 
And this creation of the senses, with its carnality 
and lust, must be overcome by the soul in thought 
and consciousness for the soul to return to the pres- 
ence of God and be in his spiritual image and live. 

In Revelation, we are told, all who overcome 
this creation of the senses, as here recorded in 
Genesis, shall return to the Holy City, which is the 
spiritual "image" of God, and become the Sons of 
God. We are also told in Revelation that the souls 
who do not overcome this creation of the carnal 
senses are left in "outer darkness" spiritually. They 
are the murderers, the adulterers, the whore mon- 
gers, the liars, the sorcerers and the soothsayers. 
This creation here of the senses is the sex brain and 
it must be overcome for the soul to return to the 
image of God. In this creation of the senses, the 
woman is told that "her desire shall be unto her 
husband, and he shall rule over her." This is the 
sex creation. 

In this sex creation, the female is the negative 
and the drawing force. The. male is the positive 
and the aggressive force. "The desire" is a sex de- 
sire, and the submission is a sex submission, and 
the "dominion" is a sex dominion. The "dominion" 
given a man over woman, is a sex dominion, and 
she submits to him sexually. We see this daily. The 
whole desire of the female in this carnal state is to 



-109— 



attract the male. That is her first thought after 
she comes into puberty. 

She adorns, she perfumes and she dresses for 
this purpose, and then after she has attracted the 
male, she submits to him sexually and her soul is 
cursed spiritually. Then she hates and despises the 
male. She feels that the serpent of the carnal 
senses has deceived her. and that the male has "de- 
filed" her body, and the serpent has cursed her 
soul. If the Gospel were to come into the conscious- 
ness of the race this law would be broken. If the 
souls of men and women were to overcome the car- 
nal in thought and consciousness, and the mind of 
the serpent within their souls, they would come into 
the "spiritual image of the Father" and conceive 
spiritual ideas rather than carnal ideas; and this 
law of death which makes a female subject to the 
male sexually, would be broken. The Gospel within 
the consciousness of the soul frees the soul of the 
female from the carnal bondage of the male. 

The woman is told that her "sorrow" would be 
greatly multiplied and that she should conceive in 
sorrow and bring forth children as the result of 
having yielded to the serpent. This curse placed 
upon the woman for having yielded to lust is the 
mind of fallen spirits. Every woman who becomes 
a Christian and overcomes the mind of the serpent, 
lust and carnality and comes into the Christ mind, 
is liberated from this curse and bondage of death. 

Christian women are not under this "curse." 
They have been liberated from this law of lust and 
death. A Christian is one who has overcome sen- 
suality. Jesus became the Christ when he over- 
came sensuality, and none are Christians, except 
those who have overcome sensuality. Christians do 



—no- 



not conceive carnally. Only pagans and sex wor- 
shippers conceive carnally, and, therefore, the 
"image" of the serpent is within the consciousness 
of their offspring, and hence, the necessity for the 
new and spiritual birth for all that is conceived 
here carnally, before they can see God. All this 
creation is carnally conceived, and is of paganism 
and sex worship. If all the race would become 
Christians at one time, that would end this Satanic 
age and end carnal propogation, and the Kingdom 
of God would be at hand. 

The Blessed Virgin overcame all that was car- 
nal and conceived spiritually; she had no shame, 
neither did the Master, who was spiritually con- 
ceived. They "stripped" him "nude" before Pilot, 
but he was not "ashamed;" there was no "shame" 
within the consciousness of his soul. He was not 
"ashamed" of his generative organs, for there was 
no lust and sin there. If all men were as pure as 
he, they would not be ashamed of their generative 
organs, and they would have no carnal desire for 
the opposite sex, and they would not beget carnally 
and the Kingdom of God would be at hand. 

Hence, our Lord said, "The children of this 
world marry and are given in marriage, but the 
children of that world and those who are accounted 
worthy of the resurrection neither marry nor are 
given in marriage, but are equal to the angels, be- 
ing the children of the resurrection and the children 
of God." They marry because they are the children 
of this world, that is, they are under the law of the 
serpent, which is lust and the original sin. 

The woman is subject unto the man as the re- 
sult of lust and the original sin. The man has do- 
minion over her sexually as the result of lust and 



— ]ii- 



the original sin. She conceives in "sorrow" and 
brings forth children as the result of lust and the 
original sin. This is the law of Gen. 3:16. It is 
the law of the serpent. 

Our Master says, when they have overcome 
lust and the law of the serpent, they have over- 
come the law of sex dominion and sex subjection as 
laid down in Gen. 3:16, and neither "marry nor are 
given in marriage.'' They are Christians. When 
two people marry, they thereby say to the world 
that they are carnal; they say to the world that the 
serpent has control of their souls, that they are in 
"bondage'' to the lust of the flesh, and that they in- 
tend to gratify that lust and to yield to the mind 
of the serpent. That they intend to go under the 
law of death. The woman thereby says that she is 
willing to be subject to the man sexually, and to 
conceive in "sorrow." She says she is willing to 
undergo the pangs of childbirth in order to have 
her carnal senses gratified. She thereby says that 
she is willing to "defile" her body and have it torn 
and shattered in order to gratify her carnal senses. 
She thereby declares that she is willing to have her 
body "defiled," which is the temple of the living 
God, and of her soul, in order to gratify her lust 
desire for the carnal senses. 

And the man thereby says that he is willing to 
"defile" her body and "curse" her soul in order to 
gratify his carnal appetites. He does not love her, 
but he lusts for her. He does not love her; if he did 
he would not "defile" her body in order to gratify 
his carnal lust and sexual appetites. Love is of the 
soul. Lust is of the serpent and the sex brain. Love 
is of heaven. Lust is of hell. Love is of God; lust 
is of the devil.

CHAPTER VIII. 

"And the Lord God said unto the serpent, be- 
cause thou hast done this thou art cursed above all 
cattle and above every beast of the field; upon thy 
belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the 
days of thy life. And I will put enmity between 
thee and the woman and between thy seed and her 
seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shall bruise 
his heei;^ Gen. 3:14-15. 

Everything in nature is symbolic. The serpent 
is symbolic of poison of the carnal mind. The ser- 
pent is symbolic of lust. The "earth" is the carnal 
man. The "earth'' is the man of lust and sensuality. 
It is the creation of the senses. It is the creation of 
the "Lord God." The serpent is the symbol of the 
lust of this creation of the carnal senses. The ser- 
pent is the symbol of the thoughts and desires of 
the sex brain. The thoughts and desires of the sex 
brain are low and degrading. 

They are the thoughts that builded the "Tower 
of Babel" and caused the "confusion of toneues." 
The language which constructed the "Tower of 
Babel" is the language of sex passion. The thought 
that constructed the cities of Babylon, Sodom and 
Gomorrah is the thought of sex lust. Every man 
and woman, until he or she overcomes the serpent, 
has the "Tower of Babel" and the cities of Babvlon, 
Sodom and Gomorrah within his or her own sex 
consciousness. 

This thought of the sex brain is "low" and of 
the "earth," and this is the "earth" upon which the 

—113— 



serpent crawls. The serpent lives and has his being 
within the thoughts of the sex brain. The thoughts 
of this serpent, which are lust, poison us both body 
and mind, and produces directly or indirectly the 
diseases of the human race, and finally damns the 
soul spiritually, unless lust is finally overcome. The 
"enmity" between the soul of the woman and the 
serpent is uncompromising. The "enmity'' between 
the soul and carnality is the battle between life and 
death. The battle between the "seed of the serpent'' 
and the "seed of the woman" is uncompromising. 
The "seed of the serpent" is carnal lust and carnal 
desires. The "seed of the woman" is spiritual 
thoughts and soul desires. The "seed of the ser- 
pent" is the senses. The "seed of the soul" is spir- 
itual. The "seed of the serpent" is the creation of 
the "Lord God." It is the soul banished from the 
presence of God in thought and consciousness into 
carnal consciousness and carnal thoughts. The 
"seed of the soul" is the creation of "God." It is 
the soul in God's "image," thinking holy thoughts 
and with spiritual desires. 

The Christ who was spiritually conceived was 
the "seed of the soul." Carnal conception is the 
"seed of the serpent." This desire to conceive car- 
nally is always fixed within the soul of woman, 
until she overcomes the mind of the serpent and the 
lust of the flesh. 

I personally have talked and conversed with a 
high class, educated gentleman who has traveled 
all through the Orient. He tells me that in Japan 
he saw with his own eyes pagan priests marching 
in their robes with the generative organs of the 
male raised high, and hundreds of Japanese girls 
following them in procession, paying homage to the 



— 114- 



generative organs of the male which were elevated 
high for these girls as they marched in procession 
to behold. And that every time the pagan priest 
turned and bowed toward the girls and lowered 
the generative organs of the male that this great 
procession of maidens would fall to the ground, 
paying homage and reverence to this god of the sex 
worship. 

They paid homage to this god of the sex wor- 
ship because it was written within their souls. 
Their desires were carnal desires. They desired to 
bring forth children carnally. It has been written 
in the soul of every woman since the fall. This 
same gentleman tells me that in China he visited 
the pagan temples and pagan shrines and there he 
saw the maidens and barren women go to these 
pagan temples and pagan shrines where stood 
statues of men and bow and kiss the generative 
organs on the statue of the male. He said that this 
performance of sex worship was continued until 
some of the generative organs on the statues were 
worn away. 

These pagan maidens and barren wom.en by 
paying this homage to the generative organs of 
this pagan god thought that they could conceive 
and bare children. This desire, which is in every 
woman, is placed there by the mind of the serpent. 
It is the mind of fallen spirits, whom God cast out 
of his presence for having sinned and conceived sex 
lust in their consciousness. 

A reputable gentleman, who is a brother law- 
yer and scholar and who has traveled extensively, 
tells me that he has seen in the remains of ancient 
cities the evidence of this same truth. That in the 
ancient world where they have dug up the ancient 



—1115— 



cities that they have found the generative organs 
of the male at the altar, where they were wor- 
shipped by the female. That he saw these organs 
with his own eyes. They were the remains of the 
pagan worship of ancient races. This law is every- 
where in nature and in this fallen race, and we 
have it with us today, posing as current Christian- 
ity. Sex permeates the so-called Christian system 
of today. Moses recorded it in Genesis. It is clear 
to those who understand nature and the spiritual 
law of the Bible. 

If there is anything that a woman hates, it is a 
snake; inately, she is conscious that the snake is 
the symbol of that thought which is the enemy of 
her soul. Some American gentlemen, who were 
traveling in South America, were out strolling one 
day. Ahead of them they heard a woman scream- 
ing for her life. As they approached her they saw 
her hands uplifted and heard her scream, as if 
though she was on fire. She seemed to be fastened 
to the earth and could not move her feet. As they 
approached nearer to her, they saw one of those 
great reptile snakes of South America approaching 
her. He had his eyes fixed upon her eyes and her 
eyes were fixed on his eyes. She could not take her 
eyes from his and he would not take his eyes from 
hers. He had her hypnotized and was approaching 
her. She knew he was coming, but she was so 
hypnotized by his eyes that she could not move. 
Her mind was paralyzed with the look of his eyes. 
The gentlemen heard her and got there before the 
snake got to the woman. They killed the snake, but 
the woinan went crazy. Her mind never came out 
from under the spell that he had fixed upon her. 



— 116— 



Mentally she never came from under his hypnotic 
influence. 

A reputable gentleman, who knew of these 
facts personally and who knew some of the men in 
the party that witnessed the facts and helped kill 
the snake, told me of this occurrence in person. The 
law of thought that caused this woman to be hypno- 
tized and to lose her mind is recorded by Moses in 
Genesis, and is all through the^ Bible. The serpent 
within the woman is daily being hypnotized by the 
serpent within the man; and many a woman daily 
goes under the hypnotism of this spell of lust and 
indulges the gratification of the serpent mind and 
never comes out from under this spell, and finally 
goes to the insane asylums. The insane asylums 
are filled with inmates who are sent there through 
this law of the serpent. These inmates of asylums 
have the "image of the beast" fixed in their minds 
as the result of sex hypnotism and cannot com^e out 
from under it. They are insane. 

The Psalmist expresses the spiritual idea of the 
soul when he said, "By the rivers of Babylon there 
we sat down, yea we wept, when we remembered 
Zion." 137th Psalm, 1st verse. Babylon is the 
city of carnal senses and the city of the state of 
carnal thought. Zion is the city of soul purity and 
the city of spiritual sense in thought. We have all 
gone into Babylon and remembered Zion. David 
was there and he wept when he remembered Zion, 
and he said, "We hanged our harps upon the wil- 
lows in the midst thereof. For there they that car- 
ried us away captive required of us a song; and 
that wasted us, required of us mirth, saying, sing 
us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing 



—117 — 



the Lord's song, in a strange land?" 137th Psalm, 
2-4. 

David had gone away into the city of the carnal 
senses. In that land he was a stranger. He was 
not in the city of Zion. He could not sing the 
Lord's song in this land of the carnal senses. And 
neither can we sing the songs of Zion when we are 
in the strange land of the carnal senses in thought. 
If we would sing the songs of Zion, we must return 
to the land of spiritual ideas and soul sense in 
thought, and there we will "hang our harps upon 
the willows of Zion" and make a glad noise. There 
in the land of spiritual thoughts we will hang our 
harps upon the willows of Zion and attune our 
harps to SDirtual notes, which is the music of the 
spiritual ideas of God. As the morning of the 
resurrection dawns within our souls, we hang our 
harps upon the willows of Zion and sing a song 
unto the Lord. As the morning of the resurrection 
dawns within our souls the city of Jerico, which 
was the city of the carnal senses, "falls" and we 
march on toward the land of Canaan into spiritual 
understanding. 

As the day star of truth and the morning of 
the resurrection dawns within our souls the carnal 
senses of the Red Sea roll back and we pass out 
of the land of Egypt, which is the land of carnality, 
over dry land to spiritual understanding. As the 
morning of the Resurrection dawns within our souls 
we walk within the fiery furnace of the lust senses 
without harm and within the lions' den of sen- 
suality without being destroyed. As the morning 
of the Resurrection dawns within our souls these 
powers of carnality become as nothing to us. As 
the morning of the Resurrection dawns within our 



-lis- 



souls, we rise above the carnal and the night of 
darkness in thought and consciousness and ascend 
into heaven and see with spiritual vision and un- 
derstand with spiritual discernment and behold 
God with the spiritual eyes of the soul, as perfect 
and holy. 

The mouth of the womb of the woman is a fac- 
simile of the m.outh of the snake; and the mouth 
of the womb goes though the same pulsation dur- 
ing the sex act that the snake's mouth does when 
he generates poison and throws his fangs into 
other flesh to kill it. The generative organs of 
the female is the seat of lust and the drawing 
force that controls the law of the serpent of the 
universe. And within her generative organs, the 
diseases that afflict the race have their origin. 
The generative organs of the purest woman are 
unclean, hence, the holy Scripture says: "How 
can anything clean come out of the unclean?" 
And the viler they are in thought, the more un- 
clean are the generative organs. Therein are con- 
ceived the origin of syphilis and gonorrhoea and 
leprosy which afflict with disease the human race. 
Therein are conceived insanity which fills the in- 
sane asylums. 

The male is not pure, but the physical condi- 
tion of his generative organs prevent them from 
being the origin of disease. He can contract dis- 
ease, but private diseases have their origin within 
the female. In her sex thought was conceived 
original sin and the law of the serpent is upon her. 
Woman in her purity is purer than a man; but 
innately she is more degraded; hence, she can fall 
lower than the man. I never found but one woman 
who was honest enough to admit this. She said 



—119— 



to me: "Mr. Tapp, human beings cannot fall lower 
than they innately are. A woman can fall lower 
than a man; therefore, she is innately more de- 
praved.'' I said to her: "You are the first woman 
that I ever found who was honest enough to admit 
the truth of the Bible, and the truth of nature." 
This is the law as recorded in the Bible, and it 
is the law of nature. 

When women shall have overcome the mind 
of the serpent then the law of Genesis 3:15 will 
be abolished from consciousness. The blessed Vir- 
gin Mary overcame the law of Genesis 3:15, and 
abolished every thought and desire of lust and the 
serpent from the consciousness of her soul and 
conceived our Lord spiritually. She had no fear 
of the serpent and the dragon had no power over 
her, and if sacred history and tradition can be 
believed, her body never suffered "corruption." 
It was translated, if sacred tradition and sacred 
history can be believed. 

The Catholic church today holds, and has for 
centuries, held a feast day annually in memory of 
the day when her holy body was translated. The 
"princes of the church" know that all sin is 
within the sex. In the Catholic church married 
wom.en do not decorate the altar, they have been 
through carnality. The altar is holy, hence, the 
unmarried women decorate the altar. The altar 
is within every man and woman as he or she over- 
comes sex lust. "Altar" has three meanings, it 
means to sacrifice, to elevate, and to commune. 
It means to sacrifice, kill and to give up, and to 
surrender the mind of the serpent within the 
consciousness of the soul. It means to surrender 
and to kill every carnal desire within the conscious- 



—120- 



ness of the soul, and to elevate the soul in thought 
to that holy state of consciousness wherein it con- 
ceives only spiritual thoughts and ideas and thinks 
spiritual thoughts, and then the soul communes 
with God. This is the true altar. 

Noah erected an altar to God. Abraham, 
Isaac and Jacob erected altars to God. The Pa- 
triarchs erected altars to God, and every saint 
erects an altar to God. "Noah found grace in 
the eyes of the Lord.'^ Noah found grace, that 
is, spiritual understanding and knew God spirit- 
ually because he conquered the carnal and the mind 
of the serpent and elevated his soul in thought 
until he saw God with the spiritual eyes of his 
soul, and communed with God as spirit through 
the spiritual senses. "And the Lord appeared unto 
Abraham, and said. Unto thy seed will I give this 
land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, 
who appeared unto him." Gen. 12:7. All who 
come into spiritual communion with God build an 
altar to God. 

"It was imputed to Abraham for righteous- 
ness." "Righteousness" is soul and spiritual 
thoughts. "The Righteous" soul is the soul that 
has mastered the mind of the serpent and con- 
quered carnality, and thinks only spiritual ideas 
and spiritual thoughts. Such a soul com.munes 
spiritually with God and erects a true altar to God. 

Isaac was offered up by Abraham. This was 
the carnal within Abraham that was offered up. He 
mastered the carnal and walked with God in spirit 
and truth. Jacob wrestled with the flesh until 
he conquered the mind of the serpent and had 
dominion over the lust of the flesh and com- 
muned with God and beheld the angels of God. 



—121- 



He saw spiritually. His vision was spiritual. This 
was Jacob's true altar. All who conquer the ser- 
pent, and have dominion over the lust of the 
flesh until they can conceive only spiritual ideas 
and commune with God through spiritual sense, 
erect altars to God. "This is the Kingdom of 
Heaven" that the Master said is within you. 

The Kingdom of Heaven is within every man 
and woman who erects a true altar to God, and 
conquers the lust of the flesh and communes with 
God spiritually, and knows God as spirit through 
spiritual sense. 

Noah and the patriarchs burned incense "at 
the altar." Incense means to purify. It is sym- 
bolic of burning up all that is impure. Carnal 
thoughts and desires are impure, and all who over- 
come the carnal and come into spiritual under- 
standing and worship God spiritually as the Father 
of spirits, are burning true "incense at the altar." 
The Catholic church burns "incense at the altar." 
That is symbolic of the burning up and destroying 
the lust of the flesh. It is symbolic of destroying 
the serpent's mind within the consciousness of the 
soul and purifying the soul spirtually. 

In the Catholic church they have the Society 
of St. Mary, which is named after the blessed 
Virgm. Girls can belong to this society until they 
get married. Then they are excluded. Then they 
go mto carnality. As long as they remain virgins 
they can belong to this Society of St. Mary. The 
Blessed Virgin burned true incense and erected the 
true altar, for she overcame all carnality and the 
mind of the serpent completely, and conceived our 
blessed Lord spiritually. In the Catholic church 
they have the Society of the Angels. Little girls 



up to puberty can belong to this society. But at 
puberity they are excluded. The serpent then be- 
gins to unfold into their minds and they become 
impure in thought, hence, they cannot belong to 
the Society of Angels. Angels are holy. They 
are spiritual beings and non-carnal in nature and 
thought. ^ 

In the Catholic church the "Actalite" boys who 
light the candles of the altar are under puberty. 
The serpent has not begun to unfold into their 
consciousness. The candles which burn on the 
altar are emblematic of the light and life of our 
blessed Master who lived the holy life and who 
overcame the carnal and the serpent and through 
his holy life imparts to us the holy spirit and who 
is the Comforter and who quickens our dead souls 
and eradicates therefrom every carnal desire that 
we m.ay walk in the light of spiritual truth. 
Hence, these lights are lighted by boys under pu- 
berty. In the Catholic church at puberty, boys 
and girls are required to go to confession. There 
the priests warn them against "masturbation," and 
sex indulgence. He becomes their spiritual father 
to protect them against the serpent. 

The men who run the Vatican know it is all 
a question of sex. They know that the "Fall" was 
lust. It is the duty of every father to protect his 
child against "self abuse" and immorality, hence, 
the priest is called "father" and the "Pope" is 
called "holy father." . 

The word "Pope" comes from papa. That is, 
he is the supreme protector of the race from the 
mind of the serpent, and his duty is to guide the 
race in all things, so as to lead them out of lust 
and carnality. "The princes" of the "church" under- 



-123— 



stand the idea; but they do not give it out to the 
masses of people. The whole purpose of the Roman 
Catholic church is to govern the sex question in 
the confession. The whole duty of the priest is 
to prevent the race from practicing "self abuse'' 
and from over indulgence sexually; and to abstain 
from carnal indulgence except under the married 
relations. They know that marriage is not holy. 
They know it is carnal. Hence, when the married 
woman gives birth to the child she is "churched'' 
in the Catholic church. She has been through 
carnality. She must be made to do penance. 

The Catholic church took marriage into the 
church and made it a sacrament of the church so 
as to regulate the sex question. But they know 
that men and women must overcome that which 
makes them marry to ever, come into a true church 
and the kingdom of God. But they do not preach 
these thmgs to the masses of the people. They 
keep these cardinal truths of Christianity within 
the secret bosom of the priesthood. And that is 
the reason the Catholic church has stood through 
the centuries. 

But the Protestant clergy doesn't seem to have 
any conception of the sex question, as the original 
sm, and the meaning of the Bible. They do not 
seem to have any conception as to what constitutes 
tne bospe . They do not seem to understand that 
me bospel is spiritually overcomnig lust and car- 
nality and the souls coming into the consciousness 
of the spiritual senses of God, and the spiritual 
ideas of God. With them religion is a matter of 
sex emotion. The well sexed minister, young and 
virile, IS always the best minister. He appeals to 
the sex sense of his audience. He creates sex emo- 



— ]24- 



tion and they take this for religion, and go to sleep 
in the senses as Adam did when Eve was made. 

The traveling evangelist of the Protestant 
world is always the well sexed man, m the full 
vigor of his sex powers. That is the reason the 
women flock to the revivals. These well sexed 
men voung and virile, appeal to the sex senses ot 
the women. They are unconscious why they go, 
but it is all recorded in Genesis by Moses, and it is 
throughout the Bible. These virile and well sexed 
men, by appealing to their senses move the sex 
forces within them. An old man, worn out sexu- 
ally, never makes a good evangelist. He does not 

appeal to the senses. _ \r. m^. ' 

To illustrate what I mean, nine months aiter 
a revival has been held in any community by a 
virile and well sexed minister, there will always be 
more children born than there were nine months 
before the revival. The virile and well sexed 
evangelist in his preaching has stirred up_ the sex 
emotions of the women of his congregation, and 
they conceive and bear children as the result. iHis 
is sex worship. Christianity is the opposite. 

"The Lord is in his house, let all the earth be 
still " The "earth" here is the same earth m gen- 
esis' that man was told to subdue and have domin- 
ion over. The "earth" is the carnal and lusi senses 
of the sex brain. God is Spirit. God is Mind, and 
God is everywhere, and his "house is that state 
of spiritual thought wherein the soul has silenced 
the noise of the sex senses in thought and _ com- 
munes with God. As the soul silences the noise ot 
the sex senses in consciousness the soul comes into 
the "house" of God. "Let all on earth be still, 
that is let every carnal thought be driven out ot 



-125- 



consciousness and every carnal desire fade away, 
and let the soul come into spiritual communion 
with God. This is Christianity. 

For the soul to become Christian, all "the 
earth must be still." Every thought of the flesh 
must be surrendered, and all the noise of the carnal 
senses must cease, for the soul to commune with 
God. The noise of the carnal senses is the "earth." 
The noise of the carnal senses and the noise of the 
sex brain are paganism and heathenism. 

The Christian minister is one who has silenced 
the noise of the "earth" and made "all the earth 
be still." He has conquered the lust of the flesh 
and overcome the senses in thought and his soul 
communes with God through spiritual sense and 
conceives spiritual ideas, and through spiritual 
union and communication he conveys these ideas 
to the souls of others, and casts out of their con- 
sciousness all thoughts and desires of the serpent, 
and the lust of the flesh. This is what Jesus 
did, and "healed them everywhere." 

"And unto Adam he said, because thou hast 
barkened unto the voice of thy wife and hast eaten 
of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, 
thou shalt not eat of it, cursed is the ground for 
thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the 
days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it 
bring forth to the; * * * and thou shalt eat 
bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of 
it wast thou taken, for dust thou art and unto dust 
thou shalt return." Gen. 3:17-19. 

This is the Adamic creation. It is the creation 
of the senses. It is the creation of the "Lord 
God." And it is the creation into which the soul, 
or the man made in God's image was turned 



— 126 — 



out as the result of having conceived sex lust. It 
is the creation into which the soul is banished in 
thought and consciousness from the presence of 
God. Had the soul which was the man made in 
God's "image" subdued and overcome this Adamic 
creation, the man made in God's "image" and who 
is spirit, would have been translated without phys- 
ical death, as was Enoch, Elijah, Moses and our 
Lord when he ascended. Had the man who was 
spirit "subdued" and "overcome" this creation of 
the senses which is the earthly creation, he would 
not have returned to dust, but would have been 
translated from the material creation. He would 
not have been subject to physical death. 

Man suffers physical death and is not trans- 
lated from this physical creation of the senses as 
the result of his carnal state of thought. At the 
general resurrection, the general translation, all 
who have overcome the carnal creation of the 
senses are translated completely from it in thought 
and consciousness— then the "earth," the lust of 
the flesh, is completely "subdued" and "overcome. 

This is the spiritual body. "And Adam called 
his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother 
of all living." Eve is from the Hebrew word 
meaning the mother of all the "earth," that is, the 
mother of all that is carnal and material. Every 
woman- is an Eve. Adam comes from the Hebrew 
word, Adamah, meaning "earth" or "earthly." 
Every man in his carnal nature is an Adam. The 
male and female of the carnal creation only beget 
and conceive the carnal and material offspring. 
Every male and female is an Adam and an Eve. 
They are material and carnal beings. They are 
the "dust" and they only beget and conceive carnal 



— 127 — 



and material offspring of the "dust." They are 
mud and their "offspring is mud." They are Cain 
and they are in the land of Nod, that is, in the 
land of the senses, and they bring forth their 
offspring of "mud and clay" and name them after 
the ideas of their own carnal minds, and worship 
them as gods. This offspring of "mud and clay" 
is the product of the sex brain and the sex brain 
names the offspring of "mud and clay" and wor- 
ships the offsprings as idols. 

Every babe in the arms of the mother is an 
idol^ but in due course of time both parent and 
offspring of "mud and clay" return to the cities 
of "mud and clay." God is the father of spirits, 
and of all that is real and eternal. The ties of 
earthly kin are all of the serpent. They are idols. 
When we have overcome these idols in thought, 
we overcome death. When we shall have overcome 
all carnal ties, we shall realize God spiritually and 
be the children of G.od. 

Those idols of earthly ties do not last as a rule, 
bv-^yond three generations. In the fourth generation 
they become weak. Heaven is the state of spiritual 
thought, and in this state of spiritual thought the 
soul is unconscious of the senses and all that is 
material. Human ties do not prevail there. The 
laws of natural kin and the mesmerism of the sex 
mind do not prevail there. 

"And the Lord God said, behold the man is 
become as one of us. to know good and evil, and 
now lest he put forth his -hand and take also of the 
tree of life and eat and live forever; therefore, the 
Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden 
to till the ground from whence he was taken. So 
he drove out the man and he placed at the east of 



-]2S— 



the Garden of Eden, Cherubims, and a flaming 
sword which turned every wav to keeiD the way of 
the tree of life/' Gen. 3:22-24. 

The creation into which man went when he was 
turned out of Eden was the creation of the "Lord 
God." Eden was the creation of "God.'' Eden is 
"Paradise.'' It is the state of the spiritual ex- 
istence of the soul made in God's "image." The 
"tree of life" was the Christ. The Christ was in 
the image of his Father, and is the image of his 
Father. He came here spiritually conceived and 
became incarnate and was subject to all the temp- 
tations of the lust of the flesh and retained the 
image of the Father, and returned to Paradise 
the holy Son of God. He is there now as the "Tree 
of life" for the "Healing of the nations" "bowed 
down" to the gods of lust. The creation of the 
"Lord God" here is the creation of the senses into 
which God banished man when he fell. 

It is the creation of the fallen spirits whom 
God has banished from his Holy presence as the 
result of sin. Eden is the holy state of the holy 
angels and we shall be like them and "equal unto 
them." says our Lord, when we shall have been 
resurrected from the death sting of the serpent 
and lust, and "neither marry nor are given in 
marriage" any more. Then we shall be the "chil- 
dren of God and equal unto the angels and can 
die no more." 

Man was sent into this creation of the senses 
in thought and conscious^ess as the result of lust. 
^Tyherubims" mean messengers. And messengers 
are thoughts or ideas. The cherubims that the 
^'Lord God" placed at the gate of Eden were carnal 
thoughts and carnal desires flowing into the con- 



-129— 



sciousness of the soul. They keep the soul out of 
Eden, and from a holy state of consciousness. They 
are the serpent's mind. They are the ideas and 
carnal thoughts of fallen spirits. They flow into 
the consciousness of the soul as spiritual death. 
They are the "flaming sword" which turns every 
way to keep us every moment from the "tree of 
life/' that iS; to keep us from the holy state of con- 
sciousness, of a holy and spiritual life. 

This flaming sword is the thoughts and ideas 
of the sex brain, flowing into the consciousness of 
the soul every moment as spiritual death. Those 
who do not overcome it remain in outer darkness. 
They never return to the holy city which is 
Paradise. In Revelation St. John tells us of their 
fate. They are the "whoremongers," "adulterers," 
^^liars/' "sorcerers" and "murderers," and they are 
in outer darkness. These carnal thoughts of the 
lust of the flesh flow into their consciousness as 
the "lake of fire and brimstone," which is never 
quenched. This is hell. It is the hell that Jesus 
preached and it is the hell of the Bible. All who 
overcome the "flaming sword." that is, lust, return 
to the holy city and are liberated from the bondage 
of sensuality and the death sting of the serpent 
and are the children of God. They are in his holy 
presence and are in his image in mind and thought.

CHAPTER IX. 

"And Adam knew his wife and she conceived 
and bare Cain." Gen 4:1. Here is where mortal 
propogation begins, when man made in the "image" 
of God, yielded to lust, the ideas and thoughts of 
the sex brain of the Adamic creation flowed into 
the consciousness of the soul and man begot and 
conceived his mortal offspring. He left Eden when 
he began to propogate his mortal offspring. As 
long as he remained in Eden, that is, the state of 
spiritual consciousness and in the spiritual image 
of the Father, he did not propogate a mortal off- 
spring. Man did not loose the spiritual image of 
the Father, and did not die until he yielded to lust. 
The carnal thoughts of the sex brain did not flow 
into his consciousness as a "flaming sword," and 
spiritual death, until he yielded to lust. 

When he yielded to lust, the carnal thoughts 
of the sex brain flowed into his soul as spiritual 
death and he died spiritually and left Paradise in 
thought, and propogated a mortal offspring. Every 
time a man and woman indulge sexually they leave 
Eden and Paradise and die spiritually, and the 
cherubims of carnal thoughts and the "flaming 
sword" of carnal ideas flow into the consciousness 
of their souls as spiritual death. When they shall 
overcome the cherubims of carnal thoughts and the 
carnal ideas and the "flaming sword" of lust, they 
will cease to indulge sexually and to propogate 
mortal offspring, and return to Eden and to the 
image of the Father and live as the children of God. 

—131— 



Here we have the "flaming sword" and the 
Cherubims which are carnal ideas and carnal 
thoughts that turned man out of Eden and pro- 
duced spiritual death. Later on in the Bible when 
God commanded Moses to build the tabernacle and 
erect an altar, he commanded Moses to place over 
the altar and the Mercy seat, cherubims. The 
Mercy seat of the altar is emblematic of the grace 
of God, flowing into our souls and redeeming them 
from the carnal death of the serpent. We are only 
saved through God's mercy and through God's 
grace. The cherubims over the altar are emblem- 
atic of God's ideas flowing into our souls and 
taking the place of the carnal ideas of the serpent. 
They are emblematic of the holy spirit quickening 
our souls from the sleep of carnality. When the 
spiritual ideas of the divine mind flows into our 
soul as life, the carnal ideas of the serpent flee as 
death. 

As we come into the consciousness, the cheru- 
bims at the altar — that is — as we come into the 
consciousness of spiritual ideas, we overcome the 
cherubims that turned man out of Eden. That is, 
we overcome carnal thoughts and carnal ideas. 
The cherubims over the altar are the spiritual 
ideas of God. The cherubims that turned man out 
of Eden are the carnal ideas of the serpent. When 
we shall have overcome the cherubims that turned 
m.an out of Eden, that is, lust and carnality, we 
will come into the understanding of the cherubims 
over the altar, which are spirituality and spiritual 
life. 

When we shall have overcome the "beast," that 
is, the ideas of carnality, we shall come into the 
spiritual understanding of the Father. When we 



— 132- 



shall have overcome the "image of the beast," which 
is the ideas of carnality, we will come into the 
''image of the Father'' which is spiritual in its 
nature and spiritual in its thoughts. The "image" 
of the Father is spiritual ideas. When the soul 
shall understand spiritually, and conceive spiritu- 
ally, and see spiritually, it will know the Father. 

The "image of the beast" is carnal depravity 
and spiritual death. The "image of the beast" runs 
all through the animal life. The lower animal crea- 
tion will become jealous sexually of a man or of a 
woman ; and man can descend so low and become so 
degraded as to be jealous of the opposite sex of the 
lower animal creation. 

Civil and common law has named adultery as 
the sex relation between a married and an un- 
married person. But this is not the Biblical and 
spiritual meaning of adultery. None but adults 
can commit adultery. Adultery means to mix and 
be "contaminated with extraneous matter." At the 
age of puberty, adultery begins within the con- 
sciousness of the soul. At this age carnal thoughts 
begin to flow into the consciousness of the soul as 
spiritual death, and the soul becomes "polluted" 
with carnality. At this age the soul becomes "adul- 
terated" with the lust of the flesh. These carnal 
thoughts and lust desires are the "flaming sword" 
and the "cherubims" that were placed at Eden to 
keep man from partaking of the "tree of life and 
living forever." 

At puberty, the soul comes into the conscious- 
ness of sin, lust and death. At this age, our Lord 
said in the temple at Jerusalem "that He must be 
about His Father's business" and he was about His 
Father's business until thirty years of age when he 



-133- 



overcame the carnal. Our Lord said that "he that 
looketh upon a woman to lust after her has com- 
mitted adultery already within his heart." Adult- 
ery is carnal thoughts as well as carnal acts, and 
the soul must become liberated from lust in thought 
to know God. 

Civil and common law have defined "fornica- 
tion" as the sexual relation between a married and 
unmarried person and between two unmarried 
persons. This is not the true and Biblical 
meaning of fornication. It is only a human 
standard fixed by man. The true and Biblical 
meaning of fornification is sexual indulgence with 
any other than the husband or wife. It includes 
incost and the sexual indulgence with the lower 
animal creation. This is what was being practiced 
in Sodom and Gomorrah; "even as Sodom and Go- 
morrah and the cities about them in like manner 
givmg themselves over to fornication and going 
after strange flesh are set forth for an example, 
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 7. 

The words "strange flesh," here in Greek mean 
"other flesh;" it was the flesh of the lower animal 
creation. Men and women were so deep in lust and 
so degraded that they were gratifying the lust of 
the flesh by indulging the sexual relations with the 
lower animal creation in the days of Sodom and Go- 
morrah, and this was "fornication," and we have 
Sodom and Gomorrah with us today and have had 
in all ages; and Sodom and Gomorrah will be with 
the race until the race forsakes Satan and the lust 
of the flesh and seeks the Christ mind as the salva- 
tion of their souls. Only the Christ in the con- 
sciousness of the soul will free the soul from the 
lust of the flesh and spiritual death. 



—134 — 



"But these, as natural brute beasts made to be 
taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that 
they understand not, and shall utterly perish in 
their own corruption." Second Peter 2:12. Here 
St. Peter declares that those who reach that degree 
of degredation so as to indulge the sex relation 
with the lower animal creation,, are as "brute 
beasts," and shall "perish" in their "own cor- 
ruption." It is the soul going into the lowest de- 
gree of spiritual darkness and death. Man who 
was made in "God's image" was given "dominion" 
over the lower animal creation, and this "dominion" 
was a spiritual dominion. 

Man was made in the spiritual and moral 
^Image of God;" but the lower animal creation was 
not made in the image of God. And when man falls 
so low as to indulge the sex relations with the 
lower animal creation, he goes into the lowest state 
of degredation and his soul loses the spiritual 
image of God. It is the most degrading thought 
of the human soul. Parents should teach their 
children, as they come into the "evil days," this 
spiritual truth. 

Many a young boy and young girl during the 
age of puberty have committed this awful offense 
through ignorance. When the "evil days" come, the 
young have to contend with much. The parents at 
this critical ap;e should take the young into their 
confidence and guide them through the "evil days" 
into mature judgment. Parents should warn the 
young as they come into the "evil days" against the 
awful offense of "self abuse." Many a life has been 
ruined through ignorance during these days of in- 
discretion. Every father should be a "father con- 
fessor" for his son; and every mother a priestess 



-135— 



for her daughter; and the "confession" should be 
in every home. 

The insane asylums are filled and have been in 
all ages because the young have not been instructed 
in the "evil days." In the Catholic homes for young 
girls and young boys they are watched. In the 
homes for young girls they are required to sleep 
with their hands from under the cover and there are 
sisters on guard at all hours of the night who make 
their visits through the bedrooms at all hours of 
the night to see that the hands of these girls dur- 
ing these "evil" and tender years are kept on the 
outside of the cover during the night. This is to 
keep these girls during these immature years, when 
the "evil one" is working at the consciousness of 
their souls, from committing "self abuse." The 
same care is exercised over young boys in the Cath- 
olic home for boys. 

The priests know it is all a matter of sex. 
The "princes" of the church at the Vatican know 
this; hence they direct the priesthood to see that 
all care be exercised to control the evil of the sex. 
A sister, before she becomes a sister in the Catholic 
church, has her "hair cut by the 'priest." Hair is 
the symbol of sensuality. The woman with a lux- 
urious suit of hair is the well sexed woman and she 
attracts men. 

Every woman desires a luxurious suit of hair; 
she may not know why but instinctively she knows 
it is her power over men. Every female, as she 
comes into puberty, desires luxurious hair; instinct- 
ively the lust of the flesh tells her that this gives 
her power to attract men. The beauty parlors of 
the world live on this idea. The days of the "evil 
one" is the dangerous age in every life. It is the 



-13&— 



critical age in every human being. St. John there- 
fore says, "I write unto you, young men, because 
you have overcome the "wicked one.'^ First John 
1:13. Again he says, "I have written unto you 
young men because you are strong, and the word 
of God abideth in^ you and you have overcome 
the "wicked one." First John 1:14. The saintly 
apostle knew that "evil" and the "wicked one" was 
lust. He knew that at the age of puberty this 
"wicked one" knocks at the door of every soul as 
spiritual death; he knew that the carnal and lust 
thoughts of the sex brain going into the conscious- 
ness of the soul is spiritual death. He knew that all 
lust of the flesh is the Satanic mind. He had gone 
through the temptation of the lust of the flesh him- 
self. He had never married. 

He was a virgin when the master called him. 
and he remained a virgin. He was the purest of 
all the apostles and hence he was the apostle that 
the Master loved best. He was more spiritual than 
the others, and hence, could understand the Master 
better. In old age he writes this advice to young 
men; he says they are "strong" and the "word of 
God abideth in them, and they have overcome the 
wicked one," and hence he writes unto them. 

"The Word of God," will overcome the "wicked 
one." "The Word of God" is the non-sensual mind; 
it is the spiritual ideas of God. It is the soul living 
within the spiritual consciousness of God. He that 
hath the "Word of God," has the mind of God. 
He has a mind that is non-carnal and non-lustful 
in thought. He that hath the "word of God" has 
eternal life, because he has overcome carnality and 
death. The "wicked one" that is the idea of lust 
and carnality, cannot abide within the soul when 



-13: 



the "word of God," that is, the spiritual ideas of 
God, abideth within the soul. 

The "accepting of the Christ as your personal 
Savior," is the overcoming of lust and carnality, 
and the coming into the Christ mind. It is the soul 
coming into the spiritual consciousness of God. It 
is the soul conceiving the spiritual ideas of God 
in consciousness. 

The soul that has overcome lust and sensuality 
in thought, desire and consciousness has the *^ord 
of God" — that is, the mind of God abiding within 
the consciousness of the soul — and has accepted 
Christ as his "personal Savior." The young men to 
whom John wrote, had done this. They were 
"strong," and had overcome the lust of the flesh 
and the "Word of God" abideth within them. They 
were the children of God. John did not write this 
same message to the old men and to children. They 
did not need it. The father did not have to con- 
tend with the "wicked one" as the young men did. 
The lust of the flesh was stronger within the young 
man. The "wicked one" was stronger within their 
consciousness than he Wc';,s within the consciousness 
of the old men; and the little children had not yet 
come into the days of the "evil one;" "they know 
the Father" because lust had not yet taken charge 
of their souls. 

There is a devil and the mind of this devil is 
the lust of the flesh. Devil comes from the Greek 
word, diabolus, which means a malicious accuser, 
and is equivalent to the Hebrew word, Satan, 
which means an adversary. The original meaning 
of adversary comes from the Latin, meaning "turn 
toward," and "lying before the eyes." Idea is the 
carnal senses turning to and deceiving the soul. 



— 138 — 



Eve expressed it, when she said, "the tree looked 
good and the serpent deceived her." 

The carnal senses lie and are false to the eye 
of the soul senses. The carnal appetites lie to the 
spiritual senses of the soul. It was the carnal 
senses that enticed Eve, and lied to her. These car- 
nal senses are the adversary of the soul. The lust 
senses are spiritual death to the soul. They are the 
continuous enemy of the soul. When the carnal 
senses are within the consciousness of the soul, the 
soul is spiritually dead. The lust senses every 
moment tempt the soul and are enemies of the soul. 
The mind of the carnal senses is the mind of evil 
and fallen spirits. They are the mind of the devil. 
They are the devil within your and my soul. 

"Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, 
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking 
whom he may devour." First Peter 5:8. The devil 
to whom St. Peter here refers as the adversary 
of the soul, is sex lust. It is the same serpent that 
deceived the soul of Eve; and this adversary which 
is the sex lust of the flesh is the mind of evil and 
fallen spirits, manifested within the consciousness 
of the soul as spiritual death. Carnal ideas are 
the ideas of fallen spirits; lust desires are the 
desires of fallen spirits. 

"And the angels which kept not their first es- 
tate; but left their own habitation, He hath re- 
served in everlasting chains under darkness unto 
the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and 
Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner 
giving themselves over to fornication and going 
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example 
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 
6-7. "The first estate" of the fallen spirits was a 



— 139 — 



holy state. They were holy and had the mind of 
the Father. They were in "God's image," and their 
ideas were the spiritual ideas of God. They had the 
mind of God. Their "fall" was in thought. They 
left their own "habitation." Their habitation was a 
spiritual habitation, but they "fell" to carnality in 
desire and thought. This carnal state of lust re- 
flects their minds. The desires of the flesh are 
their desires. The lust of the flesh is their mind. 

St. Jude compares their state of thought and 
mind of those of Sodom and Gomorrah, and to that 
state of spiritual degredation which lusts for 
"strange flesh." The degraded desires of the flesh 
are their desires. The lust which lusts for "strange 
flesh" is their mind within the consciousness of the 
soul. This creation of lust and carnality is their 
"habitation" and their state of thought. It is their 
mind and their state of thought, within their con- 
sciousness that diseases the race and produces the 
insanity of the race. Lust is the cause of disease 
and insanity, and lust is their minds. 

Our Lord refers to the chief of these fallen spirits 
when he said, "ye are of your father, the devil, 
and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a 
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the 
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own; for he is 
a liar and the father of it." John 8:44. Here the 
Master refers to the mind of the chief of these 
fallen spirits as the mind of lust and carnality. He 
says that he was a murderer from the beginning. 
He was cast down to darkness and death when he 
fell. This darkness and death is the lust of the 
flesh. This is his fallen state and the fallen state is 
lust in thought. 



— 140- 



Our Lord says he was a murderer from the be- 
ginning. All death is within the lust of the flesh. 
There was no death until lust and carnality entered 
into consciousness. Then the soul died spiritually 
and spiritually was banished from the presence of 
God. Our Lord says, "When he speaketh a lie he 
speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father 
of if His mind is a lie. The lust of the flesh is a 
lie and all carnality is a lie. It promises life and 
gives death. It promises pleasure and gives pain. 
It promises health and gives disease. It promises 
light and gives darkness. The carnal senses are 
every moment lying to the soul. They lied to the 
man "made in God's image'' and caused him to lose 
the spiritual idea and the spiritual image of God in 
thought and consciousness. They promised him 
wisdom and gave him blindness. They promised 
him life and gave him death. They promised him 
pleasure and gave him pain. They promised him 
light and gave him darkness. 

The lust of the flesh is today, as in all ages, 
filling the insane asylums, hospitals and prison cells 
of the world. The lust senses are liars and they are 
the mind of fallen spirits. "He that committeth sin 
is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the begin- 
ning. For this purpose, the son of God was mani- 
fested that he might destroy the works of the 
devil." Firs't John 3:8. Here the apostle defines the 
devil as sin. 

Sin is the lust of the flesh. Sin means "missing 
of the mark" and mark means "character." All 
character is within the ideas of the divine mind. 
All that is holy is divine and all life is divine . To 
"miss the mark" of holiness is to miss the mark of 
life and to die. Adam and Eve, when they yielded 



—141— 



to the lust of the flesh, which was the mind of the 
serpent, became unholy in thought and "missed the 
mark" of life and died spiritually. They became 
lustful in thought and lust is death. 

St. John said the devil "sinneth from the be- 
ginning;" that is, he was a fallen spirit and became 
carnal in thought and was cast out of the presence 
of God and lost the holiness of the divine mind and 
died spiritually. The fallen spirits are in outer 
darkness. They have no consciousness of that 
which is holy and divine. They are lustful in 
thought and nature. This is sin; and this is death; 
and the "devil sinneth from the beginning;" that is, 
was carnal in thought. This was the origin and the 
beginning of sin and death. 

"Whosoever is born of God, doth not commit 
sin; for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot 
sin, because he is born of God." First John, 3:9. 
Here St. John defines sin. He defines sin as that 
lustful state whereby the generative seed is emitted. 
Without lust in thought and consciousness the gen- 
erative seed is not emitted. If the mind is pure and 
the soul is kept in a holy state of consciousness, the 
generative seed is retained. But if the mind is lust- 
ful, and the soul is unholy in thought, then the gen- 
erative seed is emitted. This is sin. This is spiritual 
death. St. John says, "those that have been born of 
God are so holy in thought, that they retain the 
seed." He says that those who have been born of 
God are so pure in thought that they do not emit 
the generative seed. This holy state is regenera- 
tion. It is the soul overcoming the lust of the flesh, 
in thought and consciousness; and the soul coming 
into the spiritual consciousness of God, who is 



-142- 



spirit, through the spirtual senses of the soul. This 
state of holy consciousness is regeneration. 

In this state of holy consciousness the soul 
through spirtual sense conceived spiritual ideas and 
not carnal ideas. The soul then is in the "image of 
God" and has been re-created in thought and con- 
sciousness and cannot sin, because it has overcome 
the lust of the flesh. This is "sanctification," The 
saints are in this state of thought, and in this state 
of thought the saints have healed the sick in all 
ages. They have healed the sick, because they have 
overcome the belief of pleasure and life in the lust 
of the flesh; and are not therefore subject to the 
law of disease and death of the lust of the flesh. 

When the soul has become so pure as not to be- 
lieve in the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure 
in the lust senses it is not subject to the pain of the 
physical senses. Sin is in thoughts as well as in 
acts. The sex relations are not necessary to consti- 
tute sin. Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon may be 
carried within the consciousness of the soul, in 
thought and act, without the sex act being com- 
mitted. Purity does not consist in restraining from 
the sex act. Purity consists in keeping the soul in 
that state of consciousness wherein it has no carnal 
thoughts nor lust desires. 

While I write, my attention has been called by 
a physician of Kansas City to a case in point. This 
physician has read my books on the Bible and un- 
derstands the law that I am discussing. He has a 
patient thirty-four years of age. This man states 
upon his honor to his physician that he never knew 
a female sexually until a few weeks ago, and that 
he never practiced "self-abuse" since he was four- 
teen years of age; that his people were church peo- 



— ^143— 



pie and had advised him that these things 
were wrong, and that he lived what he thought 
was a pure life according to form. Yet at 
thirty-four years of age he is diseased both in body 
and mind. His mind is weak, his bodv is weak. His 
flesh is coarse and flabby, his sex forces are gone 
and he is a wreck. On examination, he admits that 
he has been very carnal minded all his life and was 
strongly and vigorously sexed. That he has lived in 
thought the carnal life and that the very presence 
of the opposite sex put a flame of fire and lust to 
burning within him which consumed him; and as a 
result, practically all of his life he has emitted the 
seed at night in dreams. In this way he has de- 
pleted his system and destroyed his mind. He has 
lived the life of "self-abuse" in mind and thought. 

St. Jude speaks of this class of sinners. "Like- 
wise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh." 
Jude 8. The Apostles compare them to the lust 
of Sodom and Gomorrah, which went after 
"strange flesh." Our insane asylums and hospitals 
are filled with this class of sinners. Thev defile the 
body and mind, through impure thought and by 
mental fornication, adultery and self-abuse. A 
majority of the world thinks they are pure if they 
restrain from the sex act, but purity must first 
exist in thought. If the thought is pure, the soul 
is pure. 

When our Lord went down to Nazareth to 
preach the Gospel, he found them impure in 
thought. They had Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon 
within the consciousness of their souls. Hence they 
turned upon him. His pure thoughts and pure soul 
aroused their indignation. They resented his very 
presence, hence "they led him to the foothills of the 



—144- 



town to kick him down head foremost." If a true 
minister of the Gospel, who truly had the spiritual 
understanding of the Gospel, should attempt to 
preach the true Gospel to a congregation today, he 
would receive the same reception. His audience, 
with Sodom, Gomorrah and Bab3^1on within the 
consciousness of their souls, would turn upon him. 
In a few minutes he would have no audience. They 
would stone him as they did the Master; but if they 
were pure in thought and their souls were cleansed 
from all lust, they would receive the Gospel as the 
spiritual ideas and word of God. 

The unclean in thought will turn upon the 
clean; the impure in thought hate the pure. The 
Bible would have been burned up centuries ago if 
the carnal minded world had known what it con- 
tained. If a carnal minded race had understood 
its contents, it would have destroyed the Bible. 

The author has known the impure in thought 
to begin to read his book, "The Truth About the 
Bible," and to read a few pages and to throw it 
down and declare they would not read the vile 
stuff. He has known maiden ladies, who claim to 
be pure, and we presume were pure in form, to 
throw it down in disgust. They did not know that 
it was their own impure thoughts that made them 
hate this book. They did not know it was because 
they were practicing mental "self-abuse," and it 
was in every line of their faces and written innately 
within their consciousness. This was the reason 
they hated this book. Every line within the book 
condemns their state of thought. , 

The impure in thought always flee from that 
which condemns. They always hate that which dis- 
closes the impurity of their state of thought. The 



— 145- 



pure in heart have no shame. The Psalmist says, 
"to the pure, all things are pure." Those who have 
overcome the lust of the flesh in thought, as well as 
in act, have no shame. It is the innate shame with- 
in the' soul and the lust thoughts of the soul that 
makes the impure ashamed. This state of thought 
produces disease, insanity and death. The carnal 
state of thought will cause the generative organs to 
excessively secrete the generative fluid and to 
poison the entire body and mind; but if the soul and 
mind are kept pure in thought the generative 
organs will only secrete sufficient fluid to supply 
the needs of the body; and the body will respond 
in fine fabric to the pure thoughts of the soul. 

The body of the pure in thought is of fine and 
pure fabric. Our Lord was so pure in thought that 
it was written upon the purity of his face and the 
fine fabric of his body. The purity of his thoughts 
was expressed so intensely upon his face that devils 
cried out, when they came in his presence, "torment 
us not, we know who thou art, thou art the Christ, 
the Son of the living God." He was so holy that his 
very presence "tormented" these evil spirits. His 
holy and spiritual thoughts "tormented" their car- 
nal thoughts. His holy soul "tormented" their car- 
nal souls. This state of thought is the "torment" 
of the lost. They are in a carnal state of thought, 
and this is torment. 

Our Lord, being purity itself in thought, cast 
the carnal thoughts and desires out of the souls of 
others. With the purity of his mind he changed 
their thought. He changed their belief of pleasure 
in the lust senses of the flesh and when he changed 
their thoughts, and they became pure in thought, so 

— 14fi— 



as not to believe in the pleasure of the senses and 
the orgasm of the sex act, he healed them. 

There can be no disease, sickness and death 
without the belief of the senses. The soul must be- 
lieve in the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure 
in the orgasm of the sex act, for the body to be dis- 
eased and the mind insane. Remove this belief of 
the lie of the serpent from the consciousness of the 
soul and the body responds and the mind becomes 
sane. This is what our Lord did when he healed 
them. It takes the belief of pleasure in the senses 
of the sex act to produce disease and insanity. Our 
Lord removed this state of thought from the con- 
sciousness of the diseased and insane and healed 
them and restored them to their right minds. 

The belief in the pleasure of the senses is 
Satanic. The soul is under the influence of the 
Satanic mind when it believes that there is pleasure 
in the orgasm of the sex act. Remove this satanic 
thought from the consciousness of the soul and the 
soul becomes holy and the mind sane and the body 
whole. There can be no disease and death, without 
the lie of the serpent, within the consciousness of 
the soul that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the 
sex act.

CHAPTER X. 

The author was born of invalid parents. He 
was the youngest child. Both parents were well 
along in life when he was born. He inherited a 
frail body and a weak nervous system. At six 
years of age he would faint. His nerve centers 
were very weak. They were so weak that he would 
faint in the spring season as a boy six years of age. 
His spine was very weak. At about twnety-five 
years of age he broke down from overstudy. His 
nervous system was not strong enough to stand the 
amount of mental work that he was doing. He had 
mastoid of the left ear, as the result of a catarrhal 
condition. The doctors performed four operations 
for it and injured his spine and destroyed the nerve 
centers of the vassormotor centers. 

Later they operated on him for appendicitis. 
This completely shattered his nervous condition. 
His body perished, as it were, for the want of nutri- 
ment. His nerve force was gone and he could not 
digest and assimilate food. His innate weak nerve 
system from these operations produced this condi- 
tion. The doctors said there was no chance for him 
to live. He has never drank whiskey or taken 
drugs and was what the world would consider a 
moral man. 

Ten years ago, when all hope of life was given 
up, he began to live this pure life in thought the 
best he could. He kept the image of the pure in his 
thoughts. He made every effort to exclude the 
carnal from the consciousness of his thoughts. In 

—148— 



this state of thought he has lived for many years, 
without indulging the sexual relations, and has 
finally reached that state, by keeping his mind and 
thoughts pure, that he can retain all the sex fluid 
in his body. In this way he has rebuilt his body to 
a normal state. His spine is ruined as a result of 
the operations, but otherwise he has not a diseased 
organ in his body. His mind is clear and strong. 
His eye is as youthful as it was when he was a man 
twenty years of age. 

Had I a spine, I believe I could live to be a m.an 
eighty or ninety years of age, notwithstanding I 
was born an invalid and my nervous system and 
spinal cord has been ruined by the doctors' opera- 
tions. My body is that of a young man and in 
texture it is fine. Ten years ago it was dead and 
without vitality. Purity in thought and living will 
keep body, mind and soul healthy. Impurity in 
thought will disease both mind and body. 

Purity must first exist in the mind, before it 
exists in the body. If I were pure enough I believe 
I could heal my spine where it was ruined and de- 
stroyed by the operations, but I am not perfect. I 
have been through lust and carnality and I have 
known the opposite sex sexually. I have never been 
a bad man and a lustful man as the world terms 
lustful and bad men ; but I have not been free from 
carnality. However, to the extent that I have over- 
come carnality in thought and become pure in 
thought, it has been reflected in my body. Purity 
means "free from extraneous matter.^' It is that 
which is not contaminated and corrupted with ex- 
traneous and foreign matter. 

Man made in the "image of God" was pure. He 
was holy and entirely spiritual. He became impure 



-14J- 



when he became adulterated with the lust of the 
flesh and corrupted by the carnal senses of the 
flesh. Gold is a pure metal; that is, is compara- 
tively free from extraneous matter and other 
metals; and hence it is used in the Bible as a type 
and as the symbol of the holy city. For the New 
Jerusalem will be entirely spiritual and every 
thought therein will be non-carnal. Purity is the 
non-carnal in thought. This was the state of the 
holy angels before they "felF' and became carnal in 
thought. "For if God spared not the angels that 
sinned, but casts them down to hell, and delivered 
them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto 
judgment.'^ Second Peter, 2:4. Here we see that 
the angels who "fell" were before the "fall" holy 
and divine, but after the "fall" they are reserved in 
darkness. The "fall" was sin; that is, lust. They 
sinned and this sin was lust; and as the result of 
this they were cast down into hell. 

Hell means "Hades," and "Hades" means the 
grave or death. "Hades" is the "earth" in thought 
— that is, the thoughts of the carnal man. So the 
"earth" that is all flesh became "corrupt" — carnal. 
Spiritual death is the physical grave. All go to the 
grave physically as the result of lust and spiritual 
death. Man made in the "image of God" was told 
to "subdue" and have "dominion" over the "earth," 
and the original of the world translated "earth" 
means the carnal man, with his lust nature. Had 
man made in the "image of God" "subdued" and 
had "dominion" over the earth, that is, the lust of 
the carnal man, he would have ascended out of the 
physical body as our Lord did on Mount of Ascen- 
sion. When our Lord ascended out of the physical 
body he refilled and "subdued" the "earth;" that is, 



-150- 



completely overcame the lust and carnal senses of 
the physical man in thought. 

His going "upward" was symbolic of his ascen- 
sion spiritually in thought over the carnal in 
thought. This is the true resurrection. But when 
man yielded to the lust of the flesh he was cast 
down to hell in thought; . that is, carnality in 
thought and physical death as the result. 

The senses are confusion. That is the reason 
that there are so many different religions and sects. 
They are founded on the carnal senses and there- 
fore are confusion. Their religion is not of the 
spiritual senses and of soul thoughts. Sex worship 
is confusion. Christianity is unity. There is no 
confusion in Christianity. All souls who have over- 
come the confusion of the carnal senses in thought, 
think in unity, they are one in thought. Chris- 
tianity is the same in all ages and in all countries. 
It is of the spiritual senses of the soul ; it is the soul 
in union with God, its Maker. 

The soul is the spiritual idea of God and is con- 
ceived by the divine mind and in this spiritual 
image of God it has life. It is in union with God. 
All souls in the "image of God" think the spiritual 
ideas of God and are a unit in thought. There is no 
confusion in that state of thought. All confusion of 
thought comes out of the carnal senses and the 
creeds of the carnal senses are confusion. When the 
race shall become spirtual enough to overcome the 
belief that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the 
sex act there will be no more confusion in thought. 
It^ will be a Christian race and truth will abide 
within the consciousness of the race. This spiritual 
understanding is of soul sense. Remove the lie of 
the serpent that there is pleasure in the senses of 



-151- 



the sex act from the consciousness of the race, and 
men will* cease to murder women, and women will 
cease to murder men, and men will cease to kill men 
over women, and women will cease to kill women 
over men. 

Remove the lie of the serpent that there is 
pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act from the con- 
sciousness of the souls of the race and there will be 
no more "ointment," odors and perfumery. No 
more fine linens, pearls and gold, "for no man will 
buy their merchandise any more," as John tells us 
in Revelations. These things which the female 
adorns herself with will have no more value. With 
the belief in the pleasure of the orgasm of the sex 
act removed from the souls and consciousness of the 
race, the merchants of the earth will bring their 
merchandise to the ports of sex worship no more. 
The female will not dress so as to attract the at- 
tention of the male, and the male will not plunder 
and oppress to secure money to get the merchan- 
dise which gratifies the vanity of the female. 

Remove the "Prince of this world" from the 
consciousness of the souls of the race and universal 
peace, universal harmony, universal justice and 
universal love will prevail in truth and fact within 
the consciousness and the life of the race. Litera- 
ture, art, and music will no longer be saturated 
with the thought of sex, and civilization will not be 
directed by sex, and the race will be no longer in- 
sane and diseased. Jesus said, "know the truth and 
the truth shall make you free." God is Truth, and 
to know God is to know the Truth. 

To knov/ the Truth is to give up the belief in 
the pleasure of the senses of the sex act, and for 
the soul to overcome the belief of the senses that 



there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act. 
When the soul has overcome this thought and de- 
sire in consciousness it is made free indeed, and has 
overcome death. It is made free in thought and 
consciousness from all that is carnal and this is the 
Freedom of the Spirit. It is only a step from the 
land of bondage to the land of freedom. It is only 
a step from the land of the senses to the land of the 
spirit. It is only a step from the land of matter to 
the land of mind. It is only a step from the land 
of darkness to the land of light, and from the land 
of night to the land of day, and from the land of 
death to the land of life; and this step is in 
thought, and the soul overcoming in consciousness 
the belief of the lie of the serpent that there is 
pleasure in the senses of the orgasm of the sex act. 

As we step across the border in thought, may 
our souls be purged from all that is carnal that the 
veil may be lifted, and with spiritual eyes divine 
may our souls see as we are seen and know as we 
are known. 

As the sex senses of the material creation fail, 
all that is material fail. The old lawyer, when his 
sex powers fail, loses his clients; the old physician, 
when his sex power is gone, loses his patients. The 
old politician, when his sex force has failed him, 
loses his following in politics and his office- The 
merchant, as he grows old and his carnal senses 
fail, loses his customers. All that is human and 
carnal and material is constructed on the sex 
senses. When the sex fails the material things of 
this world fail; the "merchandise of the earth" is 
controlled by sex. 

Carnality is "possession" and "obsession." 
Jesus cast carnality out of the consciousness of 



-153— 



those who were obsessed that they might think 
right. "Obsession" means to besiege. "Possession" 
means to hold in one's keeping or grasp. The belief 
that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act 
besieges the soul and holds the soul within the 
grasp of this thought. The soul in this state of 
thought is "obsessed" and "possessed." The insane 
are in this state of thought. They are "obsessed" 
and "posessed." 

Jesus, when on earth, cast the lie of the serpent 
out of the consciousness of the souls thus diseased 
and made them free indeed. He cast out of the 
consciousness the belief of the lie of the serpent 
that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act 
and made the insane sane and those in bondage to 
the lust of the flesh free indeed. The carnal state 
of thought is "obsession" and "possession," and all 
the race is "obsessed." "Filthy dreams" is "obses- 



sion." 



The author now recalls a young lady twenty- 
two years of age, who innocently used to relate in 
the parlor and publicly her "obsession." She was in 
love with a young man, she carried him in her 
thoughts and consciousness all the time. Sexually, 
she was infatuated with him, but she was innocent 
and pure so far as maintaining her physical virtue 
was concerned, yet she was unclean in thought. 
She said she couldn't sleep with ease, that she 
dreamed at all hours of the night, and during the 
night she would have the most horrible dreams. 
She said she would dream that a snake had her. 
That she would dream of snakes all night and see 
them within her mind and wake up and find them 
not there. The snakes that she saw in her mind 
while asleep were symbolic of her state of thought. 



-loJ — 



They were symbols of her lust desires. The man 
that she was sexually infatuated with was produc- 
ing these snakes in her dreams. 

These snakes were carnal thoughts and they 
are the serpents that Jesus said "should be cast out 
in His name." The dreams that this young lady 
was possessed of were the "filthy dreams" that St. 
Jude and the other inspired writers wrote about. 
If the soul would be free from these filthy dreams 
let it "weight upon God." If the soul would be pure 
let it cast out every carnal thought of the senses 
and behold spirit as purity and the source of all 
life. 

The man who has diseased his brain through 
alcoholic drinks sees snakes. This is termed "de- 
lerium tremens." He is diseased in his senses. The 
snakes that he sees through his diseased senses 
typify his diseased thoughts. He is "obsessed." 
The sensual society woman of leisure, who keeps 
dogs as her companions is "obsessed." These 
dogs, which she selects as her companions, type her 
state of thought. She is diseased in thought. The 
desire to have these dogs as her companions is of 
the sex senses. It is her abnormal state of carnal 
consciousness that makes her desire dogs as com- 
panions. 

The Author, while practising law, had a client 
who came near being killed through the sex jeal- 
ousy of a dog. The dog was a favorite companion 
of a sensual society woman. This client came upon 
the dog and his mistress while the dog was per- 
forming the sex act upon the mistress, and the dog 
through a fit of jealousy sprung at the man's 
throat and came near killing him before he could 
escape with his life. The Author has personally 



— 155 — 



been told by reputable men, that this state of sex 
jealousy existed on the frontier plains between fe- 
males of the lower animals and the men who use 
them for sexual purposes. 

These human beings are "possessed" with the 
worst forms of devils, they are in the worst state 
of soul degradation. They are in that state of 
soul degradation which St. Jude speaks of as Sodom 
and Gomorrah; and as St. Peter speaks of as "brute 
beasts." Our Lord cast this state of "obsession" 
out of the consciousness of men and women when 
on earth. They were all around him and they are 
all around us. They have existed in all ages. This 
state of thought is of the serpent. • It is the lowest 
state of spiritual death. It is yielding to the lower 
brute creation in violation of all natural and spir- 
itual law. Man was given "dominion" over the 
lower brute creation and this was a spiritual "do- 
minion," and the violation of this spiritual law is 
the lowest state of carnal degradation and spiritual 
death. It is the lowest state of "obsession." It is 
spiritual darkness and death. 

Hell, that is lust and spiritual death, has to 
exist within the consciousness of the soul, before 
the material body returns to the grave. The angels 
that sinned, that is conceive lust in consciousness, 
were cast out into this state of spiritual death, and 
this is Hell. The Resurrection from this state of 
Spiritual death, is the true Resurrection. "When 
he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before 
Him and with a loud voice said. What have I to do 
with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? 
I beseech thee torment me not. For he had com- 
manded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. 
For oftentimes it had caught him; and he was kept 



—156- 



bound with chains and in fetters ; and he brake the 
bands and was driven of the devil into the wilder- 
ness. And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy 
name? And he said^ Legion, because many devils 
were entered into him/^ Luke 8:28-30. 

These devils were the evil thoughts of fallen 
spirits. These thoughts are carnal and lustful 
thoughts, the mind of lust is the mind of fallen 
spirits. It is sin. The world is filled with men and 
women filled with devils. The insane asylums of 
the world are filled with men and women possessed 
of devils. They have gone under the law of the 
serpent. They are insane. They are in outer dark- 
ness spiritually. The Master's very presence made 
these spirits cry out with torment, His holy pres- 
ence tormented them. They are in outer darkness. 
This devil is the serpent that deceived Eve, and he 
is lust, see Gen. 3:1. He is a lying spirit. Gen. 
3:4. The carnal and lust senses of the flesh is his 
mind and they lie and deceive the soul. He is 
cursed by God. Gen. 3:14. "God cursed the earth.'' 
The "earth" is the lust of the flesh, and the lust of 
the flesh is the "earth." 

It is in evidence before us daily, that God has 
cursed the lust of the flesh! It is written in all 
nature. Go to the museums of the civilized world 
where the diseases of the human race are in 
evidence, and you can see the curse of God upon 
the lust of the flesh. I have stood in these 
museums and examined the different degrees of 
syphilis of the races of the earth and their curse 
upon the human flesh. The more sensual races 
have the worst degree of syphilis. In these in- 
stitutions I have observed the different stages of 
"self abuse" and its destructive force upon the 



-157 



human body and mind. I have also observed the 
various diseases of the human body caused from 
gonorrhea. All nature is cursed as the result of the 
lust of the flesh. I have gone to the institutions 
for feeble-minded children and there observed the 
curse of the serpent on the offspring of diseased 
parents. 

I have gone to the institutions for the treat- 
ment of cancer and there observed this curse of 
lust upon the human flesh in all of its stages. I 
have observed mothers with their breasts eaten up 
as the result of lust. In the insane asylums we see 
the inmates with the "image of the beast" still in 
their consciousness, crying out like demons. Truly, 
the curse of the serpent is in all nature, and the 
lust of the flesh is cursed by a Holy God. This 
devil, which is the lust of the flesh here in this 
fallen stage, tempted our Lord. "Then was Jesus 
led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempt- 
ed of the devil. And when he had fasted forty 
days and forty nights he was afterwards an hun- 
gered." Matt. 4:1-2. The devil here was the lust 
of the flesh; he is the same devil that caused the 
fall of man. 

The lust of the flesh is the mind of fallen 
spirits. Had our Lord yielded to the lust of the 
flesh, this fallen race would have been eternally 
lost. But by overcoming the lust of the flesh, he 
kept the holy state of thought and consciousness 
and became the Redeemer and the Shepherd of our 
souls. He was in the flesh without the lust of the 
flesh, that is. He was in the "world but not of the 
world." He was sexed as all other men but over- 
came the lust of the flesh completely in thought and 
was the Christ and the "life" and the "word of 



-15&— 



God." He was the "word of God" because he was 
in the flesh and knew not the lust of the flesh in 
thought, and had only the mind of the Father, which 
mind is holy and spiritual. All who accept him as 
their "personal Savior" must overcome the lust of 
the flesh as He did, in thought and consciousness. 
As we overcome the lust of the flesh, we accept 
Him as our "personal Savior," and become the sons 
of God. We are not the sons of God until we 
overcome the lust of the flesh. 

Another form of "obsession" is that of self 
abuse. The mind becomes addicted to this habit, 
and under control of this thought, the soul be- 
comes so degraded that the individual loses mind 
and will power. The author knew of a case of a 
young man some eighteen years of age who occu- 
pied the same bed chamber with a man who termed 
himself a "minister of the Gospel." This so-called 
"minister of the Gospel" taugh this young man self 
abuse, so the young man said, and we believed he 
was telling the truth. He reached that state in 
which he could not retain his generative seed; it 
would flow from him all the time and continuously. 
His will power was gone. He would stand and cry 
and abuse this so-called "minister of the Gospel" 
who taught him this practice which had destroyed 
him. It was a pitiful case. 

The author recalls another case. While he 
was a student in college there was a mature 
man there. He said he was a minister of the Gos- 
pel. He had been ordained and was going to the 
foreign field as a missionary and did go after 
leaving college. He was a man of thirty or thirty- 
five years of age and unmarried. His room mate 
personally told me that he would awake at night 



— 159- 



and find this so-called minister of the Gospel prac- 
ticing self abuse. He was "obsessed" with the 
thought of the perverted lie of the serpent that 
there was pleasure in the unnatural indulgence 
of the carnal senses. 

A layman who has studied this question very 
closely for many years and has been a trustee of 
theological seminaries, purchased the author^s 
"Truth About the Bible." He told the author 
that he desired it for the purpose of present- 
ing the idea to his co-laborers on the board 
of trustees as to the question of self abuse 
among theological students. He said that he 
and somxC other gentlemen had been investigating 
the question, and he said they found it very 
prevalent among these young men studying for 
the ministry. The reason is very natural. These 
young men at the age when their sex powers are 
strong, enter college to study for the ministry. 
They assume a false modesty that is unnatural. 
They never investigate nature and are not taught 
nature. They study everything except what the 
Bible is about, although they are going out into 
the world to teach the people the truth of the Bible. 
They think, owing to the very profession of which 
they study, that they can afford to restrain from 
sex indulgence with the opposite sex, and this is 
true. They go from college to some theological 
seminary, there they are housed in and are kept 
in ignorance as to the nature of what the Bible is 
about. 

In these theological institutions they are taught 
everything except the truth of the Bible. During 
these years of sex vigor they become "obsessed" 
by the desire to gratify their sex passion, and a 



—160— 



large percentage of them get to practicing self 
abuse, and become addicted to this habit. This ac- 
counts for their femininity of thought and their 
facial expression as a profession. As a profession 
they are not men of great vigor and commanding 
minds. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. 
Let us trust and hope that finally the institutions 
in which these young men are educated will change 
their course of instruction so as to teach them 
the truth of the Bible. Let us pray and hope as 
the days come and go that their instructors wil! 
awake to the truth of the Bible, and will teach 
it to the young men who come to them for instruc- 
tion, and who are to go forth to be the moral and 
spiritual advisers of the race. 

The Catholic priests as a rule are free from 
this "obsession." They are taught in the course 
of "moral theology'' what the Bible is about. They 
are taught that all sin is within the sex, and that 
the indulgence of the sexual desires is self destruc- 
tion. They are taught total abstinence. Some may 
violate this lav/, but as a class they observe it 
closely enough to preserve their mental and phy- 
sical vigor; hence, they, as a class, are a domi- 
nating force in the intellectual life of the race. The 
Protestant ministry must realize this truth, as a 
class, if they would be an intellectual force in the 
life of the race. Sex "obsession" is mental and 
physical destruction. 

All who accept the Christ as their "personal 
Savior" must overcome the lust of the flesh as 
he did. in thought and consciousness. As we over- 
come the lust of the flesh, we accept him as our 
"Personal Savior," and become the sons of God. 
We are not the sons of God until we overcome 



—161- 



the lust of the flesh. Our Lord fasted for forty 
days and nights in the wilderness while undergo- 
ing the temptations of the lust of the flesh. Ma- 
terial food feeds the carnal senses. Animal food 
produces lust passion; feed a bull dog meat and he 
will fight. All hatred and lust is within the sex. 
The Jews fasted because they wanted to deny the 
lust of the flesh and to be spiritual. The Jews 
did not eat pork, because the hog is the low type 
of animal flesh. The hog is sensual. His meat 
therefore, as food, produces carnal and sensual 
thoughts. The Jew would not eat the "hind" part 
of animal life. 

The "hinder" part is where the sex organs are 
located and is the "unclean" and sensual part of the 
animal. This part of the animal as food produces 
sensuality in thought; hence, the orthodox Jews 
of this day will not eat ham. The Catholic church 
maintains the fast. This is to reduce the passion 
of the lust of the flesh. Children and old people 
in the Catholic church do not have to fast. In- 
valids do not have. to fast in the Catholic church. 
But the young and those in the vigor of life are 
required to fast, and certain days of the week they 
do not eat meat. The purpose of fast is to reduce 
lust and passion. The "Princes of the church" 
understand this law. The true fast is a complete 
denial of the lust of the flesh and the spiritual 
communion with God as Spirit. 

The cross has a history. It is symbolic of 
evil and of the original sin. The cross is the 
symbol of the male generative organs. It is the 
symbol of destruction. The serpent is self-des- 
truction. In the ancient oriental countries the 
cross was placed upon the ground, and those who 



-162- 



were murdered were carried to it and their feet 
nailed to the bottom of it and their heads to the 
top of it. In this way they were crucified. When 
the cross came into the Western civilization, as a 
means of death, they reversed it; and put the 
lower parts upward and the long part downward 
and nailed the hands to the cross parts and the 
body to the main part. 

This was the means of death in that part of 
the Roman Empire known as Judea and Palestine 
during the life of our Lord. The cross was taken 
as the symbol of the sexual organs of the male 
and was patented after the sexual organs of the 
male. It is the symbol of hatred and death. All 
hatred and death is within the sex. It was no 
mere coincidence that our Lord was crucified upon 
a cross. It was the order of things. He had 
come to save a lost world from that thought which 
the cross symbolized upon which he was put to 
death. All hatred is within the sex. It was the 
hatred of the age in which he lived that had Him 
put to death. 

The holiness of our Lord aroused the thought 
of the carnal age in which He lived against Him. 
The lust and hatred within their minds had him 
crucified. The cross upon which he was crucified 
was the symbol of lust, and the evil minds of the 
fallen spirits, and it was the thought which this 
cross symbolized that had him crucified upon the 
cross. The author knows from experience the 
hatred of the carnal mind. Since he began to 
write his books on the Bible he has had men to 
hate him with the most intense hatred, to whom 
he never spoke and of whom he never said an un- 
kind word in his life. They knew of his books 



—163— 



and the contents of them, and the very idea of these 
books on the Bible aroused their hatred. The idea 
of these books took from them their gods. 

They were living for lust, and the teachings of 
these books deprived them of all that which from 
their viewpoint w^as worth living for. Hence, they 
hated the very name of the man who wrote them. 
The author can understand why the Sanhedrien 
hated Jesus. He can understand why the high 
priest said he must be crucified. When I first con- 
ceived the idea of my books on the Bible, I thought 
all I had to do was to give the idea to the so-called 
Christian clergy, and they would take it up and 
give it to the people through the churches; but I 
soon found I was mistaken. I suffered all kinds of 
insults from the so-called Christian clergy, and the 
door of the so-called Christian Churches has been 
constantly closed to the idea and the so-called 
Christian press had no place for it. 

I discovered that the clergy were preaching 
their senses to the carnal senses of their congrega- 
tions, and that the churches were pagan and not 
Christian; and that the so-called Christian and 
religious press was heaten and not Christian. I 
discovered that the clergy were preaching their 
senses to the carnal man and that their congrega- 
tions were worshipping the carnal senses for Chris- 
tianity; and that the so-called Christian press was 
maintained as a commercial enterprise, and was 
pagan in its views. The world is as pagan today as 
it was when Jesus was crucified two thousand 
years ago. Hence, I have lost all hope of true Chris- 
tianity ever securing a hearing in the so-called 
ecclesiastical churches. They are pagan institu- 
tions. 



-164— 



Christianity must be revived outside of the 
organized churches of the pagan senses. It had its 
origin outside of the pale of ecclesiasticism. Pagan 
ecclesiasticism would not receive the teachings of 
our Lord when he was here in the flesh. "He was 
tempted in all things as we are, but without sin." 
That is, he underwent the temptation of the lust 
of the flesh, but the sex lust of the flesh never 
entered the consciousness of his holy life; hence, 
he taught the purity of his soul; and a pagan ec- 
clesiasticism bowed down to lust in thought would 
not accept his teachings; and the carnality of ec- 
clesiasticism today, will not accept the spiritual 
teachings and the spiritual ideas and the truth, as 
our Lord taught them. Our Lord taught the law 
of Heaven and the law of life; that is, the non- 
sensual and non-carnal in thought. Pagan ecclesi- 
asticism has taught in all ages, and is teaching to- 
day, the law of Hell ; that is the law of death, which 
is lust and carnality in thought. Hell is Hades, 
and Hades is the grave and the grave is the result 
of carnal thoughts. Man did not return to dust 
until he indulged in lust. 

Man never ate until after he sinned and yielded 
to lust and was turned out of Eden. After he 
accepted the lie of the serpent, that there is 
pleasure and life in the orgasm of the sex act, 
he was turned out of Eden. That is, he was turned 
into the carnality of the flesh in thought and 
consciousness, then he was told he should eat and 
live by the "sweat of his face;" then, too, he was 
"ashamed" and sought to cover up his "naked- 
ness." From that day until now sin cursed man 
has labored and struggled for material food and 



-165- 



clothing with which to hide his "nakedness and 
shame/' 

This law is true to nature. The young at 
puberty eat much. Their sex forces are develop- 
ing. And it takes much food to feed them. Dur- 
ing sex development it takes much food for the 
physical man. When his sex forces begin to decline 
the physical man cannot assimilate much food. If 
he eats heavily after the sex forces have decayed, 
he poisons himself. The sex forces are the phy- 
sical man. Sex indulgence destroys the nerves of 
the physical man and the physical man is mani- 
fested through the nervous system. All material 
life is cell life, and all cell life is male and female 
nature. This is the corporeal and material crea- 
tion. In mind and spirit life there are neither 
male nor female nor cell life. There is no life in 
nerves, and no intelligence in matter. All intelli- 
gence and life is within mind. 

As the cells of the nervous system develop the 
young come into sex maturity. If they indulge 
sexually while the nervous system is developing 
it impairs physical perfection. The brain is the 
source where all nerve force is generated. Nerve 
force is collected within the brain and distributed 
over the human body through the nervous system 
by way of the spinal cord and generative organs. 
These mental impulses create physical vitality. 
When the nerve cells of the brain fail to function, 
co-ordination ceases. Mental impulses of mind 
function through the nerve cells of the brain. 
There is no life or intelligence in the nerve cells. 
Life and intelligence is within the mind, but when 
the nerve cells are destroyed, co-ordination ceases. 

The young who indulge sexually impair the 



-16&— 



development of the nerve cells of the brain. A 
young man or young woman who indulges sex 
indulgence cannot hope to develop into a strong 
man or woman, mentally or physically. The sex 
sense should never be indulged until the nerve 
cells of the brain are mature. A man should never 
have sexual intercourse until he is thirty years of 
age, and a woman should never indulge sexually 
until she is twenty-five years of age, and then 
only for the purpose of reproduction. The nerve 
cells of the brain and of the generative organ of 
the male, mature at thirty; and of the female at 
twenty-five. 

The normal man is stronger sexually at thirty 
years of age than ever before or ever after; and 
the average woman is stronger sexually at twenty- 
five years of age than ever before or ever after- 
wards, and this is the age that reproduction should 
take place. Sex indulgence should only be tol- 
erated for the purpose of reproduction. All sex- 
ual indulgence is self destruction. It weakens both 
mind and body; and therefore should only be in- 
dulged for the purpose of reproduction. 

There is not and cannot be anything spiritual 
in the relation between the sexes, and it should 
only be tolerated in this carnal state for the pur- 
pose of reproduction. When the Gospel, that is 
the Christ mind, which is spiritual and non-carnal, 
has been realized fully in consciousness by the race, 
the race will propagate no more; and the Kingdom 
of God, which is spiritual, will be at hand. This 
is the Millenium. The indulgence of lust has de- 
stroyed more human beings than all the wars of 
the ages. It is Satanic and selfish in its nature. 

The Author recalls a personal case which illus- 



—167— 



trates this law. A young man and young woman 
were married. She was stronger sexually than 
he. They knew nothing of the laws of nature and 
the spiritual truth of the Bible. They indulged 
their desires at will. She destroyed him. She was 
the stronger, sexually, of the two. She absorbed 
his vitality and he contracted tuberculosis and dis- 
solution soon took place. She collected his insurance 
and in three weeks was married to another hand- 
some young man, and was again indulging her sex- 
ual desires at will. The Author knew her per- 
sonally and she said to him, in speaking of her 
second marriage and her second husband, that "she 
had a husband that worshipped her." She was 
unconscious of the thought that was in the Au- 
thor's mind when she made this statement to him. 
Physically she was a beautiful woman, and as the 
Author looked at her and heard her make this 
statement, he thought, "My good woman, you are 
unconscious of the fact that you have killed one 
man through the law of death and sensuality, and 
that the second man, whom you say Vorships you' 
is 'bowing down' to Satan, which Jesus spoke of 
and which is within your 'sex forces.' " 

This man was bowing down and worshipping 
her lust nature, which had killed one man and was 
now ready to destroy another, and in destroying 
the second man she would probably destroy herself. 
The Author recalls another couple. They were 
elegant and refined young people. The husband 
was a physician, and twenty-five years of age 
when they married. The wife was nineteen and 
beautiful and sensual. They were about equally 
mated sexually and physically. In four years time 
they had destroyed each other. He was a hand- 



-168- 



some and perfect man physically when he married. 
In four years time he was a tubercular and a wreck, 
and the wife was a nervous and physical wreck. 
They had destroyed each other. This is the law 
of the serpent. Married people should never in- 
dulge the sex relation except for reproduction, and 
at all times should take weeks and months for 
spiritual meditation before indulging sexually for 
the purpose of reproduction. 

Their minds should be pure and free from 
all abnormal sexual desires when indulging for 
reproductive purposes. "The Princes" of the Cath- 
olic Chruch know that the whole question of the 
Bible is one of sex, and that this material creation 
is of the lie of the senses and the serpent; but 
they do not give it out to the people. The Protes- 
tant clergy as a class do not know this. They are 
ignorant, as a class, as to the law of sex of the 
Bible. The "Princes" of the Catholic Church pro- 
ceed on the idea that all the race are children, and 
are not capable of thinking for themselves and gov- 
erning themselves. Hence, they seek to regulate 
the sex question through a system of formalities 
and rites. 

They consider all the race, children and the 
church their mother, and the Pope their Father. 
It is the duty of the father to regulate the morals 
of .his own household. The father and mother 
tutor their children in sex and morals. The Catho- 
lic church is formed on the same idea. It proceeds 
on the idea that the whole question of the race is 
one of sex, and it is the duty of the Pope to regu- 
late the sex question, through the church and the 
priesthood; hence, the Pope is called the "Holy 
Father." He is the Father of all the "children 



—169- 



of the church," and disciplines all of his children on 
the sex question through the priesthood, and that 
is the reason he is called the "Holy Father," and 
that is the reason every priest is called "Father." 

Every Priest in his parish takes charge of the 
sex question in the confessional. The purpose of the 
confessional is to regulate the sex question. Hence, 
the Priest is called "Father." This system has pre- 
vailed for ages. It might have served a good pur- 
pose in the dark ages and when the masses could 
not read, but the conditions of the race have 
changed. Man has begun to think for himself, and 
why not make a man out of him instead of a 
child? Why not tell him what all of these forms 
and rites are for and where they came from and 
what their purposes are? Why not teach him the 
truth of the Bible, and why not translate the Bible 
into its true language and meaning so that the race 
may understand it? Why not tell the race that 
all sin and death is within the sex? Why not 
translate the Bible into the true language of 
thought so that the race will understand that the 
Tower of Babel is the tower of carnality and is 
located within the sex and the lust senses of all the 
human race? Why not translate the Bible into 
hum.an thought and language, so that the race 
will understand that the city of Babylon is the 
city of carnality in thought and is located within 
the sex senses and lust senses of every human 
being? 

Why not translate the language of the Bible 
into human understanding so that the race will 
understand that the cities of Sodom and Gomor- 
rah were the cities of sex "perversion" and lust in 
thought? Why not translate the Bible into cor- 



— 170— 



rect language of thought so that the race will 
understand that the "golden calves" which the 
Jews made as idols and bowed down to while Moses 
was on Mt. Sinai receiving the ten commandments, 
was not a "calf," but that the original means "bull," 
and that this bull that they made of gold was the 
symbol of their own state of carnal thoughts? 
Why not translate the Bible into the language of 
human understanding so that the race may under- 
stand that idolatry means the carnal state of 
thought within the consciousness of the soul, and 
that the material images, which are termed "idols" 
in the Bible, only symbolize the state of carnal 
thought and consciousness of those who bow down 
to them. Why not translate the Bible into human 
understanding so that the people may understand 
that idolatry is a carnal state of thought, and that 
non-idolatry is a state of soul thought? 

Why not translate the spiritual meaning of 
the Bible into language so as to convey spiritual 
ideas of truth that the race may know that the 
city of Zion and Jerusalem is the city of spiritual 
purity of the soul — that it is the city of spiritual 
thought and a state of consciousness wherein car- 
nality does not prevail? Why not translate the 
language and thought of the Bible into human 
understanding so that the race will understand that 
orthodoxy is righteousness — that is, soul purity and 
non-carnality in thought; and that heresy means 
carnality in thought and consciousness? Why not 
translate the Bible into spiritual understanding 
and thought, so that the race will understand that 
"truth" is soul purity and non-carnality, and that 
"error" is carnality and spiritual death. 

These two laws of thought run all through the 



—171— 



Bible and all through nature. Every thought is 
either spiritual or carnal, and every idea is of the 
soul or of the sex senses. This is the law of 
thought and the law of all human language, and 
why not translate the Bible into its correct mean- 
ing and into the language of human thought so that 
the race may understand it? This has never been 
done. The true meaning of the Bible has been 
covered up and concealed in its translation, and the 
race has been kept in ignorance as to the spiritual 
and carnal meaning of the Bible. 

The Bible is the most vile Book ever written; 
and it would not be true if it was not. It deals 
with sin, sex and carnality in all of their corrup- 
tion. It is the purest Book ever written and the 
holiest Book ever written, for it deals with the 
law of the soul in purity and as the child of God. 
These two conflicting laws of thought run all 
through the Bible. The Bible is a dual Book. All 
thought is dual. All consciousness is dual in its 
nature, and has been ever since the serpent entered 
into consciousness and deceived the first man and 
woman. When the serpent's mind shall have been 
overcome in thought and consciousness all thought 
will be pure. All things then will "be made new." 

As the result of having kept the race in ignor- 
ance as to the meaning of the Bible and the source 
of sin, the race has been diseased and insane in all 
ages; and hospitals, jails and insane asylums have 
filled the world. All disease, insanity and crime 
have their origin within the serpent's mind. 

Jesus said to the woman that touched him, 
"Who touched me, I felt virtue go out of me?" 
She was of the opposite sex. That is the reason 
Jesus was conscious that she had touched him. 



— 172- 



He had not yet ascended. He was still in the 
flesh and the law of the senses were battling 
against the purity of his soul. He would not have 
objected to the Saintly John touching him, or even 
Stumbling Peter. But he healed the poor woman, 
diseased from sin. She had a disease peculiar to 
her sex. When Jesus walked upon the sea, he 
overcame the law of the carnal mind, which is sex. 
The law of the solar system is sex. It is the law of 
repulsion and attraction, and he overcame this law 
when he walked upon the sea. 

If he had not been above the law of sex in 
thought he would have sunk as did "Doubting 
Peter." Peter tried it and failed. Peter had not 
overcome the sex in consciousness completely and 
was subject to the law of attraction and repulsion 
of the solar system; hence, he was going down to 
the bottom of the sea until the Master saved him. 

When Jesus was crucified, "there was dark- 
ness over all the earth, and the earth did quake 
and the rocks were rent." This was symbolic of 
the darkness and night of the sex mind. Hatred 
was manifested in thought and consciousness. 
After his resurrection, St. Matthew tells us, that 
the saints arose from the dead and came into the 
Holy City and were seen by many. Our Lord tri- 
umphed over the night of death, and the hatred 
of the sex mind, and when he came forth in thought 
and consciousness from this night of death and 
hatred of the serpents mind, the Saints were spir- 
itually resurrected in thought and consciousness. 
They were within the holy city of spiritual purity 
and were spiritually visible to his Apostles and 
Disciples. 

St. Paul says, "Present your bodies a living 



-173— 



sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 
reasonable service. And be not conformed to this 
world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of 
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good 
and acceptable and perfect will of God/' Romans 
12:1-2. 

"To be conformed to this world" is to accept 
the lie of the serpent, that there is pleasure and life 
in the orgasm of the sex act. The law of this 
w^orld is the lust of the flesh. The thought of the 
flesh is carnality, and is spiritual death, disease 
and insanity. It destroys the race and damns the 
soul. To be "transformed" by the "renewing of 
your mind" is to deny the lie of the serpent, that 
there is life and pleasure in the orgasm of the 
sex act. This "transformation" is through the 
power of the Holy Spirit. He quickens the soul 
to life from death of the serpent. The soul thus 
"transformed" does not accept the lie of the ser- 
pent that there is pleasure and life in the orgasm 
of the sex act, but denies the carnal senses in 
thought, and meditates upon spiritual truth. The 
soul that has thus been "transformed" has the 
Gospel, which is the spiritual ideas of the Father, 
within the consciousness of the soul, and spiritual 
life. "Revealed religion" is Christianity, and Chris- 
tianity is the "transformation" of the soul from 
carnality to spirituality in thought. "Revelation" 
is the "lifting of the veil." "Revealed religion" is 
that state of spiritual truth wherein the veil of 
the sex senses has been lifted from the conscious- 
ness of the soul. The "Babbler," which is the ser- 
pent's mind, is the master of human thoughts. 
He is of the sex senses of the generative organs, 
and the lust senses of the brain. He does the 



talking to the soul that causes all sin and death. 
He is the cause of all confusion in thought and 
action. The human tongue expresses in words 
what the "Babbler" — that is, the sex senses, says 
in thought to the consciousness. The senses of the 
generative organs speak through the tongue. When 
these senses of the generative organs are removed 
from the consciousness of the soul, the soul beholds 
God as the spiritual Father. This is "revealed re- 
ligion/' and this is Christianity.

CHAPTER XL 

We go to the grave physically as the result of 
our lustful and carnal state of consciousness. When 
Adam and Eve yielded to lust they were told that 
they were taken from dust and that they should 
return to dust. They were told to "subdue and 
have dominion" over the earth; that is, the lust of 
the flesh. Had they obeyed this command, and had 
dominion over and subdued the earth, which is the 
lust of the flesh, their physical bodies would not 
have decayed; and they would not have returned 
to dust as physical bodies, but would have ascended 
out of their physical bodies as our Lord did on the 
Mount of Ascension, without physical death. 

This is the true resurrection; and on the gen- 
eral day of judgment all those who have overcome 
the lust of the flesh and have been sanctified will 
undergo that Transition, and will ascend in thought 
to all holiness as our Lord did when he went out 
of his material body on the Mount of Ascension. 
The resurrection and the restoration of the soul, in 
thought from the carnal senses of the material 
body, is the true resurrection and the true Gospel; 
but the clergy are not preaching this Gospel today. 
They did not preach it in Jesus' day. They are 
preaching the carnal senses as the Gospel and the 
law of the flesh as life. 

The two laws of thought are clearly stated by 
our Lord in the parables of the beggar named 
Lazarus, and a certain rich man. In this parable 
our Lord stated the law of life, which is purity 

— 176 — 



and spiritual, and the law of death, which is lust 
and carnality. "There was a certain rich man 
which was clothed in purple and fine linen and 
fared sumptuously every day, and there was a 
certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at 
his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with 
the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; 
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And 
it came to pass that the beggar died and was car- 
ried by the angels into Abraham's bosom; the rich 
man also died and was buried; and in hell he lift 
up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham 
afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried 
and said. Father Abraham, have mercy on me, 
and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his 
finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tor- 
mented in this flame. But Abraham said: Son 
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy 
good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things, but 
now he is comforted and thou art tormented. And 
beside all this, between us and you there is a great 
gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from 
hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, 
that would come from thence." Luke 16:19-26. 

In this parable is stated the law of life and the 
law of death. It is the law of thought. Lazarus, 
the poor man died and was carried by the angels to 
Abraham's bosom. ''It was accounted to Abraham 
for righteousness' sake." Righteousness is right 
thinking. Righteousness is spiritual ideas. Right- 
eousness is soul thoughts. Righteousness is of the 
soul. Righteousness is the overcoming of carnality 
in thought and desire. Those who are righteous 
have overcome all that is lustful and carnal in 
thought. 



—177— 



Abraham was circumcised and he was com- 
manded to circumcise all the males of his house. 
St. Paul says that the Jew is he who has been 
"circumcised inwardly." True circumcism is spir- 
itual. Physical circumcism of the generative or- 
gans of the male is physical cleanliness and sym- 
bolic of spiritual cleanliness. Abraham was told to 
go into Canaan and drive out the Canaanites. The 
Canaanites were a carnal people, who were bowed 
down to idols. They were sex worshippers. All 
who are living in the lust of the flesh are sex 
worshippers. 

Abraham had to drive out the Canaanites be- 
fore he could inhabit the land of Canaan, the "land 
flowing with milk and honey." All of us have the 
Canaanites within us. The lust senses and the 
carnal desires are the Canaanites, and they must 
be driven out of consciousness and destroyed if we 
would inhabit the spiritual land flowing with milk 
and honey; that is, the land of the spiritual 
thoughts. Abraham did this. He was the true 
Jew. He was spiritually circumcised. Abraham 
was righteous and his soul became holy and non- 
carnal in thought. And the angels carried the 
poor man to the bosom of Abraham; that is, the 
soul of the poor man overcame the lust of the 
flesh and became pure and holy, and came into the 
same spiritual understanding of spiritual life, as 
the soul of Abraham had done. But the rich man 
was clothed in purple and fared sumptuously every 
day. He lived for the lust of the flesh and for the 
gratification of his carnal appetite. The carnal 
and lust senses were his gods. 

"The rich man also died and was buried and 
in hell he lifted up his eyes." The soul of the 



—178— 



rich man was in the same carnal state over there 
as it was in this life. There was no change in 
thought. The state of thought is the same in the 
other life as it is in this life. If the soul is carnal 
in thought here it is carnal over there in thought. 
If it is spiritually dead here, it is spiritually dead 
over there. "And beside all of this, between us and 
you there is a great gulf fixed; so that they which 
would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can 
they pass to us that would come from thence." 
The souls who have overcome lust and gone into 
that life with the spiritual understanding of the 
Christ cannot communicate with the carnal souls 
that are spiritually dead over there; neither can 
the carnal souls that live for the lust here and pass 
over in that state of thought, communicate with 
the souls that are holy over there They occupy 
two different states of thought. 

Those that live for the carnal here and pass 
over in this state of thought, are in outer darkness 
over there and are spiritually dead. Their thoughts 
are carnal and their desires are lustful. They 
have the image of the beast "within their fore- 
heads." The ideas of the lust of the flesh are 
written within their consciousness. Those who 
have overcome the lust of the flesh here are holy 
over here. Their souls are pure and they have 
the image of the Christ in their consciousness, and 
think spiritual thoughts and see with spiritual 
vision. 

They are within the city of the New Jerusa- 
lem. There is no communication between them 
and the lost. "And there shall in no wise enter 
into it anything that defile th, neither whatsoever 
worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they 



—179- 



which are written in the Lamb^s book of life/^ 
Rev., 21:27. Here St. John describes the Holv Citv 
and those who inhabit it. These are they which 
are in Abraham's bosom. The serpent and the lust 
of the flesh ''defileth," worketh abomination and 
maketh a lie;" and the serpent's mind cannot enter 
this Holy City, where the Lamb of God is the light 
and the life thereof. Nothing that is sensual and 
carnal can enter there. 'Tor without are dogs 
and sorcerers and whoremongers and murderers 
and idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a 
lie." Rev., 22:15. 

This is the state of the lost: thev are of the 
serpent's mind. The lust of the flesh is a lie and 
all sorcerers, and whoremongers and idolaters 
are of the sex. The rich man "who was clothed in 
purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every- 
day" served the lust of the flesh here and that was 
his state of thought over there. If we would enter 
the Holv Citv we must overcome all that "de- 
fileth" here. If we would be pure there, we must 
overcome lust here. We cannot live in the carnal 
here and have the Gospel over there. The Gospel 
is New ideas. These New ideas are the spiritual 
ideas of the Divine Mind. If we would have these 
New ideas and spiritual thoughts within the con- 
sciousness of the soul over there, we must over- 
come the lust of the flesh and carnal ideas and 
desires here. 

We cannot pollute the body with the lust of 
the flesh here and degrade the soul with thoughts 
of carnality, and enter the Holy City of purity and 
spiritual life over there. We must overcome the 
image of the beast" here if we would have the 
image of the Christ" over there. The Christian 



"i 



-180 — 



is he who has absolutely and completely overcome 
the lust of the flesh here. The Christian has over- 
come the mind of the serpent. 

The Christian v^oman is not under the law of 
the serpent and the lust of the flesh, and is not 
"subject" unto the male, and does not submit her 
body to the gratification of the lust of the male, 
and her "desire" is not unto the male sexually. 
The Christian man is not under the law of the 
serpent, that man shall "leave his father and mother 
and cleave unto the woman and shall have dominion 
over her," the Christian man does not desire sex- 
ual dominion over the female. He has overcome 
the law of the serpent, and is living under the law 
of the Christ. 

A Christian man is not the husband of the Chris- 
tian woman, but her brother. The Christian wom- 
an is not the wife of a Christian man, but his sis- 
ter. When they overcome the law of the serpent 
and the lust of the flesh and become holv and 
Christian, they are divorced from the law of the 
lust of the flesh and as husbands and wives, and 
become brothers and sisters and the children of 
God. If all men and women should become Chris- 
tians the kingdom of Satan would end. 

Purity of soul overcomes the lust of the flesh. 
The pure soul does not propagate through the lust 
of the flesh. It takes the lust of the flesh to 
propagate by the law of the serpent. It took cen- 
turies to produce the blessed Virgin who conceived 
our Lord spiritually. She was a Christian and was 
so pure in thought that she communed with the 
angels through spiritual sense and was conscious 
of their spiritual presence. Every Jewish woman 
wanted to be the mother of the Messiah. They had 



-181- 



been looking for his coming for centuries, and he 
was to be conceived spiritually, and every Jewish 
woman wanted this spiritual honor. They knew^ 
he was not to be conceived of the lust of the flesh. 
Parents were living spiritual lives for centuries, 
and praying that they might bring forth the girl 
child that would develop into the spiritual woman, 
and be spiritual enough to conceive spiritually and 
be the mother of the Messiah. It took centuries 
of this spiritual living to bring forth the Virgin 
Mary. 

The opposite of this law is also true. Parents 
who are impure and vile bring forth impure and 
vile offspring. And degenerate parents bring 
forth degenerate offspring. Parents who are in- 
toxicated and whose systems are poisoned with 
alcohol will beget the drunkard. This is the law 
of hereditary. The author recalls a case in point. 
The father was a high class drunkard. He was a 
social drunkard. His system was saturated with 
whiskey all the time and his mind inflamed with 
the thought and desire for whiskey when a son 
was begotten. The son could not go in the presence 
of a saloon. His desire for whiskey was so great 
that the smell, or the odor thereof, ran him mad 
with the desire to drink. The young man was 
strong and was determined that he would never 
be a drunkard. He never tasted whiskey. When 
walking along the street, if he approached a saloon 
he crossed the street and went down the street 
on the opposite side. He overcame the desire for 
liquor bequeathed to him by his father. He became 
an able lawyer and a man of character; but he 
had a battle all of his life. "The sins of the par- 
ents are visited upon the children unto the third 



-182- 



and fourth generation, and yea unto many gen- 
erations." The "Princes of the Catholic church" 
understand this law. 

A man whose immediate ancestors had in- 
sanity cannot be a priest. Insanity is the result 
of sin; that is, the result of lust in some shape or 
form, and where the fore parents had insanity the 
offspring cannot be a Catholic priest. A man to 
be a Catholic priest has to have a sound body 
physically; he cannot be diseased; they will not 
accept him. This was the law of the Aaron priest- 
hood. The reason of this is that all deformity 
and diseases in the body come from the lust of 
the flesh in some form or other. 

The orsrasm of the sex act is a fit within 
itself. While the mother is carrying a child she 
should abstain from the sex act. By practicing 
the sex act while the mother is carrying a child 
the child is liable to be subject to fits, and, of 
course, to be lustful in nature. Parents should 
abstain from abnormal caressing while a child is 
being begotten and conceived. The father may 
caress the mother and produce a degenerate. By 
caressing the mother abnormally and kissing each 
other with the tongue, and arousing the passion 
within the senses of the tongue, and then begetting 
a child by the mother while she is in this state 
of thought, is liable to bring forth a child whose 
passion will be in the tongue instead of the gen- 
erative organs when the child grows up to ma- 
turity. Again the father may caress the mother 
abnormally by biting her on the jaw and teasing 
her sexually in this abnormal way until her mind 
is fixed upon this state of thought. In this state 
of thought, they indulge sexually and a child is 



-18^- 



conceived. When it grows up to maturity its sex 
desires are within the jaws instead of the gen- 
erative organs. 

All the race is "obsessed" with the belief that 
there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act. 
The race has been "obsessed" since the serpent de- 
ceived Eve. The overcoming of this thought in 
consciousness is the regeneration of the race. This 
lie of the serpent has destroyed the race in all 
ages. The author personally recalls a true and 
living case of this lie of the serpent. The person 
in question was a personal friend of the author. 
He was a man of splendid talent. Nature had 
given him an almost perfect body and good mind. 
He was handsome and attractive to the opposite 
sex. In early manhood he became infatuated with 
the lie of the serpent. He was the daily com- 
panion of women who desired their sexual passions 
gratified. He lived this life for many years. At 
forty years of age he was not only a physical wreck 
but mentally a child. 

The body which nature carved almost perfect 
was destroyed. The mind which nature had en- 
dowed with first class faculties was gone. I sat 
by him and with heart to heart sympathized with 
him. The tears ran down his cheeks as he related 
to me the story of his life, as he would to no 
other person on earth. He knew I was the best 
friend he had in this world. He told me the whole 
story of his life and how the lie of the serpent 
had destroyed both body and mind, and in the noon- 
day of life when he should have been in his best 
years, he wanted to go away in some quiet spot 
and take a drug and end it all. I argued with him 
not to commit suicide. I said to him, "Come over 



-]8J 



to me, my friend." He came. I said: "Put your 
hand on the back of my neck." He did as I told 
him. I said to him, "What do you find?" He 
said. "Why, Sidney, the back of your neck is that 
of a young man; there isn't a sunken place in it." 
I said to him, "Put your hand on the back of your 
own neck." He did as I told him. The back of 
his neck was all sunk in and gone. He realized 
what I meant. He broke down and wept. 

The vital forces in the back of his neck had 
been wasted on the harlots. I said to him, "My 
dear boy, I am four years your senior. I was 
born an invalid. I have been operated on five 
times. The back of my neck and its condition is 
due to the fact that it has not been wasted on the 
harlots. You were born with almost a perfect body. 
Nature was good to you, but nature was harsh and 
unkind to me. You have never had an operation, 
yet your neck is gone and I possess a normal neck." 
The vital sex forces are located in the centers of 
the neck in the lower part of the head. His were 
gone. There we sat, face to face, bosom friends 
and companions. We loved each other. There 
was never two men who thought in such diametri- 
cal opposite lines and yet such bosom companions. 
We loved each other, yet our minds ran in oppo- 
site lines of thought. We often referred to this 
fact in our heart to heart talks. 

I said to him, "My dear boy, my mind is clear, 
my body is frail, and my nervous system has been 
shattered as the result of five operations, but the 
mind that God gave me is there and you know why." 
He said, "Yes, Sidney, you are the essence of good- 
ness, the sum total. You are the best man that I 
ever knew." I said to him, "No, I am not, I am 



—18c 



weak. I have fallen by the wayside. The serpent 
has deceived me in days past, but I have fought 
the battle, and I conquered.'' He said to me, "I 
only wish that I had lived the life that you have." 
I said to him, "I only wish nature had done for me 
what it has for you." But his day was over. I 
said to him, "You are the best living illustration 
of the Prodigal Son that I ever knew." "You 
have wasted your Father's substance upon the har- 
lots." I made him promise me that he would leave 
off the harlots, reverse his course in life and start 
life over again. He promised me faithfully that 
he would; he spent the next night with a harlot 
and confessed it to me the following day. 

He admitted he was so weak that he could not 
resist the influence of the harlot. He was "ob- 
sessed." His will power was gone. These are the 
sinners that Jesus came to seek and to save. They 
were on earth when he was here, and they are with 
us today. He cast out of their consciousness when 
on earth, the belief that there is pleasure in the 
senses of the sex act and restored unto them their 
will power and a normal state of mind. He cast 
out of their consciousness the lie of the serpent 
and restored them to sanity. And the Christ is 
with us today as he was then. He is with the race 
today in all truth as he was when he walked over 
the hills of Galilee and Judea in the Man Jesus. 

If we will forsake the carnal in thought and 
disbelieve the lie of the serpent that there is pleas- 
ure in the orgasm of the sex act and say unto 
Satan, "Thou art an offense to me," and go into 
the closet of our own consciousness and commune 
with the Christ through soul sense, the spirit will 
flow into our consciousness until the day dawn of 



-1S6— 



the resurrection shines forth within our souls, as 
the light of truth. Then we can master all that is 
carnal and put the thoughts of the serpent under 
our feet, and walk in the light of the noonday of 
truth and realize the presence of the spirit as our 
guide. 

It was dark in Gethsemane; it was night. The 
Master's blood drops there were emblematic of the 
night of the senses. He sweat blood. And while 
he prayed all of his disciples went to sleep. While 
he struggled with the last battle of the serpent in 
thought and consciousness, they went to sleep in 
the senses. His suffering there was emblematic 
of the struggling of the senses. It was night. The 
mind of the serpent is night, but he overcame the 
mind of the serpent, and hence arose on the morn- 
ing of the resurrection. He arose as the day was 
dawning. This was emblematic of spiritual truth. 
It was the symbol of the light of the spirit. 

We must all go through the night of Gethse- 
mane, and we niust conquer as he did in the Gar- 
den of Gethsemane, then we will rise with the day 
dawn of the resurrection. We must overcome the 
"obsession" of the carnal if we would be resur- 
rected with the spirit. The night of the "obses- 
sion" of the serpent must go out of our conscious- 
ness, if the day dawn of the morning of the resur- 
rection would rise within our consciousness. We 
must overcome the night of the "obsession" of the 
serpent if we would realize the day dawn of the 
morning of the resurrection within our souls. 

The "obsession" of the serpent has all the race 
in charge. This "obsession" of the serpent mes- 
merizes the race, and creates confusion, and the 
strife of the nations. The mesmerism of the ser- 



-187— 



pent creates the confusion of the nations and pro- 
duces the wars of the nations. The young -become 
mesmerized by the serpent. They become "ob- 
sessed.'' Some through this "obsession," marry 
early in life, and the young mother before she is 
twenty-five years of age is an old woman. And 
the husband before he is thirty is an old man. 
They destroy themselves through the "obsession" 
of the serpent. The serpent "obsesses" others, un- 
naturally. Some of the young, through this "ob- 
session," begin to practice self abuse. The brain 
is soon destroyed. They never develop to mature 
men and women. They die prematurely in life 
or fill the insane asylums. Those who are thus 
"obsessed" violate nature's laws, if they become 
fathers and mothers they produce the feeble minded 
and the insane as their offspring. 

The insane asylums are filled with the fruition 
of the "obsession" of the serpent. Some who have 
been "obsessed" by the serpent contract private 
diseases and then marry later in life. They give 
these diseases to their wives in a secondary stage. 
Children are born. They come blind, deaf and 
dumb and diseased. This is the fruition of the 
"obsession" of the serpent. There is but one rem- 
edy for the ills of the race. There is but one cure 
for the diseases and insanity of the race and that 
is the Christ mind within the consciousness of the 
race. Purity will eliminate all the diseases of the 
race, and save the race. 

When the race shall walk with the Christ in 
thought and consciousness, and shall be able to say 
to Satan, "Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an 
offense unto me," there will be no more disease 
and no more insanity. The race will then be pure 



— JS?-- 



in soul and in mind and in body. The Christ mind 
within the consciousness of the souls of the race 
will dispossess the race in the serpent's mind, and 
heal and save the race, spiritually, mentally and 
physically. When the race shall walk with the 
Christ in thought and consciousness until the or- 
gasm of the sex act shall be an offense unto the 
race, there will be no more sickness, no more in- 
sanity and no more death. 

The Christ mind is the only remedy for the 
disease and insanity of the race. We reach this 
Christ mind, and the Christ state of consciousness, 
by denying the senses of the flesh and communing 
with God as spirit through soul and spiritual sense, 
until we are at one with him in thought and con- 
consciousness. This is Christianity. And Chris- 
tianity is the only physician that will ever heal the 
race and save the race spiritually, mentally and 
physically. I hope those who shall read this book 
and my other books on the Bible as the days and 
years come and go will see that they are passed 
on to future generations and are circulated every- 
where to the race, because I know that the truth 
as the Christ taught it is the only remedy for the 
sins and diseases of the race. The true Church 
is the Scriptural Church, and the Scriptural Church 
is the Church that teaches the truth as the Christ 
taught it, and this truth is, that there can be noth- 
ing spiritual within the carnal senses and that 
there is not anything spiritual connected with the 
relation of the sexes, and that the carnal rela- 
tion between the sexes must finally be overcome 
for the soul to overcome the carnality and death 
of the flesh. 

Marriage is the natural state through which 



— 1S9^ 



the lust of the flesh shall be indulged, but the nat- 
ural state is not the spiritual state. If they can- 
not contain, they should marry. But this is the 
natural and not the spiritual state. This may be 
my last. I don't know. I therefore hope that 
those who read this book and my other books on 
the Bible, will see that they are preserved and 
circulated among the people of the earth, that the 
races in darkness may know the truth as the 
Christ taught it, that they may know what Chris- 
tianity is, and may know that it is not of the carnal 
senses. Sex worship is with us today as of old. 
It is just as real in our so called Christian Churches 
today as it was in the pagan temples of Babylon 
and Ninevah thousands of years ago. It has pre- 
vailed in all ages, and it prevails today as the 
current thought and the religion and the worship 
of the race. 

In our so-called Christian churches, the young 
and virile of both sexes are hired to sing and to 
sound forth the notes of the senses. Their music 
is the music of the senses. Their notes are the 
notes of carnality, and with this music of the senses, 
they mesmerize the congregation with their sex 
magnetism. This is sex worship. It is the religion 
of the senses. The old and the saintly are not in 
the choirs of the churches of the so-called Christian 
Churches. Their sex forces are gone; they could 
not hypnotize and mesmerize the congregation. 
Their day of sex worship is over. They are spir- 
itual ; hence, the notes of their music are not needed 
in these temples of sex worship and paganism. 
The temples of sex worship of Babylon, Sodom and 
Gomorrah and Ninevah had the same system of 
music and the same notes of the senses that we 



-IDO— 



have today in our so-called Christian churches. 
But the Christians had no part in this system of 
paganism; these Christians of the early church 
were spiritual in their worship. They had no paid 
choirs; no young and virile singing forth their sex 
worship in the congregation. They met in humble 
places and there the old as well as the middle aged 
chanted the Psalms of David. Their notes were 
spiritual and their notes were of soul. They had 
no paid ministers, well sexed and virile, to charm 
and mesmerize them through the sex forces. These 
primitive Christians had a Board of Elders^ and one 
of these Elders presided at the meeting of the 
Saints. He read an extract from one of the Gos- 
pels or a letter from one of the Apostles, or an 
extract from one of the prophets or one of the 
Psalms as "spiritual lessons." Then they chanted 
one of the psalms and then went into silence. There 
they sat for hours in silence, commanding all the 
"earth," that is, the carnal senses, to be still, that 
they might commune with God through soul and 
spiritual sense. After spending hours in this silent 
communion until their souls had silenced the senses 
of the flesh and communed with God through spir- 
itual sense, they would chant another psalm and 
then eat the bread and drink the wine as a holy 
communion and adjourn. 

There was no mesmerism of the serpent in 
their worship. They were Christians and their 
worship was of soul senses. They were pure in 
heart themselves hence they could teach the truth 
as to sin. In our so-called Christian churches to- 
day, which are temples of sex worship, the truth 
of Christianity could not be taught. The people 
are mesmerized through the senses. Their con- 



—191— 



sciousness is carnal in thought. They are too im- 
pure in thought. They are in the same state of 
thought that the people of Nazareth were when 
Jesus returned there to preach the Gospel to them. 
They were impure in thought and would not hear 
him. They drove Him out of Nazareth. 

The people who congregate in our so-called 
churches today, which are temples of worship, 
would not hear the Gospel; they are mesmerized 
by the serpent. If you would attempt to teach 
them the Gospel they would turn on you. Their 
state of thought would not receive it. The Psalm- 
ist says, "To the pure all things are pure." Paul 
says the same thing. Only the pure receive the 
Gospel. Only the pure will let you tell them what 
sin is. You can only teach the gospel to the pure 
in heart. Those who are carnal minded are mes- 
merized through their sex forces, and will not re- 
ceive the spiritual ideas of God within the con- 
sciousness of their souls. The spiritual ideas of God 
is the Gospel, and all sex mesmerism must be over- 
come in thought and consciousness for the soul to 
come into the consciousness of the spiritual ideas 
of God, as the Gospel. 

The Author knows of cases where the sex pas- 
sions of the female have been within the breast. 
Of course, this was produced by the abnormal con- 
dition and law under which the child was begotten 
and conceived. A reputable physician who is a 
personal friend of the Author tells him that he 
knows of a case where the sex passion was in the 
foot instead of the generative organs. This con- 
dition was produced by a perversion of the law of 
human thought. This law is dealt with by the 
prophets. "Oh thou with lolling tongue," declares 
the prophet.

CHAPTER XIL 

Sin is within the lust senses of the^ tongue 
as well as the generative organs and brain. The 
tongue and the lust senses of the brain and the 
lust senses of the generative organs are all con- 
nected up by the sympathetic nerve system, and 
you can produce any state of thought and carnal 
desire that provision may direct, and the offspring 
will pay the penalty therefore. Parents should 
understand this law and should observe it. Par- 
ents should not violate any natural law in thought 
or act, when children are being begotten and con- 
ceived. They should be spiritual. Parents should 
take time for meditation, spiritual thought and 
prayer before begetting and conceiving a child. 

Months should be spent in spiritual meditation 
before a child is begotten and conceived. The par- 
ents should have as little lust within their con- 
sciousness as possible, when a child is being be- 
gotten and conceived. We have this law^ demon- 
strated all through the Bible. SamueFs parents 
were spiritual. His parents walked in the "ordi- 
nances and statutes" of God, and the "ordinances 
and statutes'' of God are spiritual. In this state of 
thought they brought forth a child that was a 
"power in Israel." Abraham and Sarah, through 
spiritual meditation and communion with God, 
brought forth Isaac, and Isaac through spirituality 
and spiritual meditation brought forth Jacob. 

SamueFs parents lived in spiritual meditation, 
that the child might be of spiritual power. The 



parents of John the Baptist walked in all the "ordi- 
nances and statutes of God." They lived in con- 
tinuous spiritual communication with God; and 
they brought forth John the Baptist, who was to 
be the forerunner of the Christ. It takes spiritual 
parents to produce spiritual children. This is the 
law of Truth. Carnal parents produce carnal chil- 
dren. This is the law of evil. Young married peo- 
ple entering life should know this law and should 
understand the teachings of the Bible upon this 
truth. They should know how to bring pure and 
spiritual minded children into the world. But when 
the truth is reached in the absolute, and lust is 
overcome completely and the parents become Chris- 
tians, then they cease to propogate through the 
lust of the flesh. 

The parents of John the Baptist almost 
reached the Truth in thought and consciousness, 
and almost became Christians. There was very lit- 
tle lust within their thought when John the Bap- 
tist was being begotten and conceived; but there 
was some lust within the consciousness of their 
souls when they begot and conceived John the 
Baptist; hence Jesus said, "Of those that are born 
of woman, there is not a greater than John the 
Baptist, but the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is 
greater than he." In other words Jesus said John 
the Baptist's conception had less lust connected with 
it than any other natural conception up to his days, 
and yet it was not a Christian conception; in other 
words, that John the Baptist's parents were the 
most spiritual and had less lust within the con- 
sciousness of their souls than any two who had be- 
gotten and conceived a child up to the date of John 
the Baptist's conception, and therefore there was 



-iji- 



none greater than he that were conceived of lust. 
His parents were spiritual, indeed; they had almost 
overcome the serpent in thought, and lust within 
the consciousness of their souls when they begot 
and conceived John the Baptist; but there was some 
lust within their consciousness when he was be- 
gotten, hence, Jesus said, "that the least in the 
Kingdom of Heaven was greater than he." 

There is no lust in Heaven, Heaven is the 
spiritual state of the soul, and there is no lust in 
thought there. But the blessed Virgin who was the 
mother of our Lord, overcame lust completely and 
conceived spiritually. She was a Christian. A 
Christian conception is a non-lustful conception. 
Jesus was not the Christ until he overcame lust 
completely at thirty years of age, and then he was 
annointed, and annointed means, the "life of God.'' 
The soul that has been annointed has overcome the 
mind of the serpent and lust completely in thought 
and consciousness, and neither "m.arry nor is given 
in marriage" nor begets nor conceives through the 
lust of the flesh. Jesus was the Christ because he 
was the "life," and he was the "life" because he had 
overcome death, which is the lust of the flesh. 

There was no death until the lust of the flesh 
entered into consciousness and into thought; and 
when this is overcome, death is overcome. There 
was no "marrying and giving in m.arriage" and be- 
getting and conceiving through the lust of the flesh 
until lust was vielded to in thought. When lust is 
overcome, death will be overcome, and they will 
neither "marry nor be given in marriage," and the 
kingdom of Heaven will be at hand. 

A Christian race would end carnal propogation. 
All carnal propogation has its origin in the lustful 



— 195 



''imagination" of sex brain and these lustful ideas 
are bequeathed to the souls of the offspring, hence, 
all are "conceived in sin and shaped in iniquity. 
But I am asked, "How would you populate the 
earth?" I am not interested in how you are going 
to populate the earth; but I am interested in how 
you are going to populate Heaven. "Earth," in the 
Bible, means the lust of the flesh; it means the car- 
nal and corporeal man, and the "Earthly" popula- 
tion must cease before Heaven can be populated. 

All of this "Earthly" or carnal creation must 
be "born again," or re-created before it can get into 
Heaven. The lust of the flesh must be overcome 
before the soul will know God. The population of 
Heaven begins where the depopulation of the earth 
begins, or the carnal creation ends. The spiritual 
creation and the population of Heaven is not de- 
pendent upon the existence of this carnal creation. 
The inhabitants of Heaven are spiritually con- 
ceived. All that is in Heaven is mind, and is spir- 
itually conceived; and the soul must overcome the 
lust of the flesh to enter that state of thought. If 
the race should become Christians, the carnal crea- 
tion would end, and the kingdom of Heaven, which 
is the image of the Father within the soul, would 
be ushered into consciousness. The pagan theo- 
logical dogma "that all birth is painful" is not true ; 
all carnal birth is painful, because it is of lust and 
death; but the spiritual birth, which is the Christian 
birth, is holy and life eternal. It is not painful, but 
an eternal joy. The carnal creation and the car- 
nal birth must end before the spiritual and the 
Christian birth can be realized. The "earth," that 
is, the lust of the flesh, must be depopulated before 
Heaven can be populated, that is, the spiritual birth 



-196— 



realized. The end of Satan's Kingdom (the lust of 
the flesh and carnal propogation) is the beginning 
of the Christ Kingdom. The end of death is the 
beginning of life. When the race, as a race, shall 
have overcome lust, it will be ushered into the 
kingdom of God. 

When the race, as a race, shall have overcome 
death, it will have life. When the serpent's mind 
is lost in consciousness, the Christ mind will be real- 
ized. When the night of death is overcome, the 
light of eternal day will be realized. The Kingdom 
of Heaven can never come until the Kingdom of 
Satan and the lust of the serpent are banished from 
the consciousness of the souls of m_en. 

"How art thou fallen from Heaven, oh Lucifer, 
son of the morning, how art thou cut down to the 
ground, which did weaken the nations. For thou 
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into Heaven, 
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I 
will sit also upon the Mount of the congregation, 
in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the 
heights of the clouds, I will be like the most High. 
Yet thou shall be brought down to hell, to the sides 
of the pit. They that see thee, shall narrowly look 
upon thee and consider thee saying, is this the man 
that made the earth to tremble, that did shake 
kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness and 
destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the 
house of his prisoners.'' Isaiah 14:12-17. 

Lucifer here, in the original, means "Day Star," 
that is, the Light of Truth. He represents in 
thought the Truth of Spirit, before the fall. After 
the fall he represents the Error of lust and the 
darkness of sensuality. Before the fall he repre- 
sents Truth, which is the spiritual ideas of God. 



—197— 



After the fall he represents Error, which is the car- 
nal ideas of the lust of the flesh. He represents, 
after the fall, the lust of the devil, which our Mas- 
ter spoke of in John 8:44, when he said, "The devil 
abode not in the truth." After the fall he repre- 
sents that state of thought which St. Peter refers 
to when he says, "The angels that sinned were cast 
down to hell." This hell is the lust of the flesh and 
is located within the sex brain. The thought and 
mind of the sex brain is "this man" that "made the 
earth to tremble," and that did "shake the king- 
doms," but that made the "world as a wilderness 
and destroyed the cities thereof," that "opened not 
the house of his prisoners." Every Hebrew woman 
wanted to be the mother of our Lord, but to be the 
mother of our Lord, lust had to be overcome. The 
Blessed Virgin did this and became a Christian and 
conceived spiritually. 

The mind of the sex brain of the race has pro- 
duced war and strife in all ages and destroyed the 
kingdoms and the nations of the earth. The king- 
doms of the earth are builded on the carnal* senses 
and are destroyed by the sex senses and the lust 
senses of the brain. Human dynasties, human clans 
and family trees are builded on the carnal senses 
and are destroyed by the sex brain of the race. 
They are of carnality and are destroyed by car- 
nality. The age in which I write, it is conserva- 
tively estimated that over 80 per cent of the men 
are diseased in some form or another from "private 
diseases," and that over 55 per cent of the married 
women are diseased, either in a first or second 
state, from the sex sins of their husbands. 

It is estimated that 35 per cent of girls at 17 
years of age, in cities of 50,000 population and up, 



—198— 



have lost their virtue, and that 25 per cent of them 
in cities of 50,000 and up are diseased with "private 
diseases." That over 90 per cent of the human race, 
during some age of life, have practiced "self abuse" 
more or less, and over 50 per cent have practiced 
"self abuse" until it is injurious to some degree, and 
over 25 per cent have practiced "self abuse" until 
it is materially injurious; that over 95 per cent of 
the human race are "tainted" with syphilis, and 
over 50 per cent are "tainted" with syphilitic condi- 
tions until it is more or less injurious, and over 25 
per cent of the human family have syphilific germs 
within their brain cells to the extent that it is ma- 
terially injurious to the body and mind. That over 
95 per cent of the human race, in some form or an- 
other, either directly or indirectly, are tainted with 
syphilis or gonorrhea. Liver troubles, stomach 
trouble, kidney trouble, heart trouble, nervous trou- 
ble, insanity and all forms of diseases afflict the 
human family through the serpent — gonorrhea and 
syphilis are manifested everywhere in the human 
race. 

"This is the man that has m.ade the world a 
wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof." Lust 
has made the world a wilderness and destroyed the 
cities of the carnal senses. At tim.es in history it 
has almost depopulated the earth. 

While I write all Europe is at each other's 
throats; blood flows and men fall thick and fast, 
dead. "This is the man (the sex brain) that made 
the earth to tremble and did shake the kingdoms." 
He is the serpent that was in Eden, and he is within 
the sex brain of the race and is m_aking the king- 
doms of the earth "shake" today, as he has in all 
ages. And as he will continue to do until the 



— 199— 



mind of the serpent and lust is overcome by the 
race, he will continue to make the "kingdoms of 
the earth shake" until the kingdom of God comes. 

This devil which has made the "kingdoms of 
the earth shake" is presumptuous. Job 1:6; Matt. 
6:5-6. He is proud. Tim. 1:2-3. He is wicked. First 
John 2:13. He is malignant. Job 1:9-2-4. He is 
cruel. Lu. 8:29-9:39; First Peter 5:8. All presump- 
tion of human nature is within the sex brain. All 
pride is within the sex. The wickedness of the 
human heart is within the sex. All hatred is within 
the sex. So we see that the power of this man, 
which does make the "kingdoms of the earth 
shake," is located within the sex brain and the lust 
senses. This is the devil within us. This is the 
devil that is producing the strife and conflict of 
the race. This is the devil that is causing the man 
to murder the woman, and the woman to murder 
the man, the wife to kill the husband and the 
husband to kill the wife. 

This is the devil that is producing the diseases 
and insanity of the race. This is the devil that 
finally must be overcome for us to return to God 
and be the children of God. This devil, which is the 
lust of the flesh, is the "earth" that man was told 
to "subdue" and have "dominion" over. "Heaven 
is God^s throne and the earth is his footstool." 
"Heaven" here is a holy state of thought; it is the 
soul in the image of God. Holiness is God's state 
of consciousness and holiness is his throne, and 
from^ this throne his spiritual ideas come forth as 
the life of his children whom he made in his image. 
The "earth" here is the carnality and the lust of the 
flesh and is his "footstool." 

"Righteousness" shall finally conquer "un- 



-200- 



righteousness" and all that is evil and lustful shall 
be cast down to the hell of darkness and death. 
This is God's "footstool." Jesus said, "I have glori- 
fied thee on the earth, I have finished the work 
which thou gavest me to do." John 17:4. The 
"earth" here is the lust of the flesh. Jesus came 
as a man in flesh, sexed as all other men, and over- 
come lust and death, and became the "life." He 
said, "I am the resurrection and the life." He was 
the "resurrection and the life" because he came in 
the flesh, sexed as all other men, and overcame the 
lust of the flesh and death. "All the earth is cor- 
rupt." "All the earth" here is all flesh. For we 
are told elsewhere in the Holy Scripture "That all 
flesh became corrupt." All corruption is within the 
lust of the flesh. 

Lust produces corruption in thought and dis- 
ease and corruption in the body. The inanimate 
earth is not corrupt. It has no consciousness; it 
does not think. There can be no corruption with- 
out thought. 

When the "earth" became corrupt, it was the 
carnal man that was corrupt, and he was corrupt 
because he was lustful. When God destroyed "All 
the earth" by the flood, it was not the material 
earth, but it was a lustful and a degenerate race. 
It was the lust of the flesh that was corrupt, and it 
was a lustful race and a carnal generation that God 
destroyed as a "corrupt earth." 

Our Lord, when he came forth from the grave, 
said to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not." He said 
he had not as yet ascended to his father. He would 
not have objected to having been touched by the 
saintly Apostle John, or by the stuttering and 
stumbling Peter. They were of his sex. He had 



-201 — 



cast seven devils out of Mary Magdalene, and puri- 
fied her soul, yet he objected to being touched by 
her. He had not yet ascended. And so with us as 
the morning of the resurrection dawns within our 
souls, we cannot stand the carnal in thought with 
the opposite sex. 

If we would ascend completely out of the car- 
nal into the spiritual, as our Lord did, we, too, must 
object to being touched in thought by the opposite 
sex. As the morning of the resurrection dawns 
within our consciousness, all that is carnal, dark- 
ness and night, disappears from consciousness. To 
ascend completely from the night of the carnal into 
the light of day, in thought and consciousness, we 
must be above the mortal and the material of the 
opposite sex in thought. This was the state of our 
Lord in thought and consciousness when he as- 
cended. Hence, he said to Mary Magdalene, "touch 
me not, I have not yet ascended." 

"In the beginning God created the heaven and 
the earth." Gen. 1:1. In the very first verse of the 
first chapter of the Bible we have the dual creation. 
We have the law of dual thought in the first verse 
of the first chapter of Genesis. "Heaven" here is 
the soul in the image of God. It is the spiritual 
creation. It is "Righteousness." It is "holiness." 
It is non-carnality in thought. The "earth" here is 
the creation of the senses. It is matter and is sym- 
bolic of the lust of the flesh. It is the carnal man 
with his lust nature, and this is the "earth" that be- 
came "corrupt," and this is the "earth" that finally 
must be overcome for the kingdom of God to come; 
that is, for the spiritual creation to be realized in 
thought and consciousness. After the first verse 
in the first chapter of Genesis follows the spiritual 



-202- 



creation, and in the second chapter follows the ma- 
terial creation. 

We have this "heaven" and "earth" in the first 
chapter of Genesis, and all through the Bible, to the 
last chapter of Revelation. In the last chapter of 
Revelation, we have the "heaven" in the first chap- 
ter of Genesis, as the "New Jerusalem" and the 
"Holy City." "And there shall in no wise enter into 
it anything that defileth, neither whatsover work- 
eth abominition or maketh a lie; but they which are 
written in the Lamb's book of life." Rev. 21:27. 
This is the state of the saints and the redeemed, 
and this the "Heaven" in the first verse, first chap- 
ter of Genesis that God created in the beginning. 

The "earth" in the first verse, first chapter of 
Genesis is symbolic of the carnal man with his lust 
nature. All who do not overcome the carnality of the 
"earthly" creation do not enter the "holy city." 
They do not have the "image of God," that is, the 
spiritual ideas of God within their consciousness; 
but the "image of the beast" "within their fore- 
heads," that is, the ideas of the lust of the flesh 
within the consciousness of their souls. They are 
without the "Holy City." They are in a state of 
carnal consciousness. "For without are dogs and 
sorcerers and whoremongers and murderers and 
idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." 
Rev. 22:15. This is lust and carnality within the 
consciousness of the soul. It is spiritual night. 
It is hell. 

Babel means "confusion;" they are of the "earth" 
and in the city of confusion. Baal means "master," 
"possessor" and "owner." Baal was the local diety 
of the Canaanites. Baal is the male god of sex wor- 
ship. Baal is the sex mind. Astraroth is the fe- 



— 203 — 



male god of sex worship. These two gods consti- 
tute the city of sex worship, the city of sex lust. 
All who have not overcome the "earth," that is, the 
lust of the flesh, are in this city of darkness. They 
are whoremongers, murderers, dogs and liars in 
thought. This is hell; it is the state of the lost. 
"And he which is filthy, let him be filthy still." 
Rev. 22:11. 

All filth in thought, as well as material, is with- 
in the sex. All who have not overcome the lust of 
the flesh are "filthy." We have two creations in 
the first verse, first chapter of Genesis, the creation 
of "good and evil." Good is of spirit, and evil is 
of the carnal senses. Good is heaven, and evil is 
hell. Heaven and hell are matters of thought. In 
the last chapter of Revelation we have these two 
same creations, the spiritual creation, redeemed, 
which is holy. This creation is composed of the 
souls who have overcome the lust of the flesh. They 
have "subdued" and had "dominion" over the 
"earth," that is, they have overcome carnality, and 
they "follow the lamb withersoever he goeth." They 
are in the Christ mind in thought and are "unde- 
filed." Those "without" are dogs, whoremongers, 
adulterers and liars. They have not been redeemed 
from the "earthly" creation. They have not been 
redeemed from the "earth." They still have the 
earthly creation and the carnal within their minds 
and thoughts. 

The redeemed "are they which were not de- 
filed with women, for they are the virgins." These 
are they which follow the Lamb, withersoever he 
goeth. "These were redeemed from among men, be- 
ing the first fruits unto God and unto the Lamb." 
The redeemed from among men are not "defiled." 



-201 — 



All "defilement" is of the lust of the flesh. The or- 
gasm of the 6ex act is the essence of the "defile- 
ment" of body, mind and soul. 

When the race becomes virgins spiritually, it 
will be "undefiled." It is the sex act in thought and 
act that "defiles" the race. It is "self abuse" that 
"defiles" the race. It is carnality which "defiles" 
the race in thought. When the soul is redeemed 
from lust, it is not "defiled." It is a virgin. "Thou 
hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not 
defiled their garments." Rev. 3:4. The mind should 
be so pure in thought as not to "defile the gar- 
ments," the body nor the bed, with the generative 
seed. 

The mind can become so impure in thought as 
to "defile" the body, the garments and the bed, by 
emitting the generative seed without the sex act. 
This is mental "self abuse," fornication and adult- 
ery, and is more wicked and sinful than the sex act 
itself. This state of thought prevents the soul from 
seeing God with the eye of spiritual thought. It 
takes a pure soul to spiritually discern the ideas of 
God. It takes the "pure in heart" to be conscious 
of the presence of God. 

The "pure in heart" and the holy in thought 
can spiritually discern the presence of God. God is 
holy, and God is mind, and for the soul to mentally 
see and to realize the presence of God, the soul must 
be holy and pure in thought. It must be "unde- 
filed." Hence, our Lord said, "Blessed are the pure 
in heart, for they shall see God." Only the pure in 
heart, that is, in thought, can spiritually discern 
God through spiritual sense. Soul sense is spirit- 
ually discerned. And only those are pure in heart 
who have become so pure in thought as not to "de- 



-205— 



file their gaments" with the seed of the generative 
act. The impure in heart "defile their garments/' 
They have no consciousness of God. 

Our Lord was "undefiled." He was God within 
the flesh, that is, he came within the flesh and was 
sexed as all other men and lived so pure and non- 
carnal in thought that he never lost the generative 
fluid. His thoughts were so pure and non-carnal and 
his soul was so pure that he never emitted the seed 
of the sex act. This made him the "sinless son of 
God.'' Saint John says: "He that is born of God 
cannot sin, for his seed remains within him." We 
shall be the sons of God when we shall become as 
sinless as our Lord was. When we shall have be- 
come so pure in thought that we can live in the 
flesh and retain the seed of the generative fluid in 
our bodies, without emitting the same, we shall be 
the sons of God, and in this state of thought we 
can ascend out of the material body. This is the 
resurrection and the life eternal. 

Jesus was the only man that ever reached this 
degree of spiritual perfection and holiness. In this 
state of purity there is no death. By this law of 
purity he healed the sick, opened the ears of the 
deaf, loosed the tongue of the dumb, opened the 
eyes of the blind and raised the dead. He over- 
came the carnal in thought. His soul was so pure 
that the belief of pleasure within the orgasm of 
the sex act was removed from the consciousness of 
his soul. The belief in the pleasure of the senses 
is a lie. The supreme lie of the serpent is the be- 
lief that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex 
act. All the sorrow of the race has come from this 
lie. The belief of this lie is death. It has "defiled" 
the race. 



—206— 



Babylon in thought, is the orgasm of the sex act. 
All die in Babylon. The race is diseased as the re- 
sult of Babylon. Purity does not consist in refrain- 
ing in form from the sex act. Purity consists in 
overcoming in thought and consciousness the de- 
sire to commit the sex act. The Author personally 
now has in mind an aged lady. She is a lady of re- 
finement and social position. She has been sensual 
all her life. In old age she is desirous of having 
boys and young men around her. A young man 
from eighteen to twenty-five, who is handsome and 
well developed, cannot come near her unless she 
wants to kiss him. She wants to kiss every young 
man who comes around her, who i? handsome and 
well formed. She has Babylon within the conscious- 
ness of her soul. She is diseased. 

These cases are around us daily. They are 
everywhere, and have been in all ages, and will be 
until the race becomes pure. The Author person- 
ally recalls an old man who wants to put his hands 
on every young girl and every young lady that 
comes around him. He is refined, as the world 
would call it; he has academic culture, but he is 
coarse in thought, and his mind is impure. His 
mind is defiled and his flesh is coarse as the result 
of his thoughts. These cases are everywhere. AH 
the race is committing self abuse, adultery and 
fornication in thought; hence Jesus said, "unless 
ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." 

Humanity "has sinned" and come short of the 
law of God; that is, humanity is lustful in nature 
and impure in thought, and the flesh of the race 
is "defiled." If the race were pure in thought, 
the race would be healthy. A sinful race is a dis- 
eased race. A lustful race is a "defiled" race, hence 



—207— 



all the race is defiled and diseased. The only thing 
that will keep the bodies of the race free from dis- 
ease is purity of mind. When the race thinks right 
it will not be diseased, and to think right is to over- 
come lust. 

Parents should lose no time in watching their 
children at the age when they come into puberty. 
This is the time when manhood and womanhood is 
destroyed. Your child at that age has the same 
lust desires and evil thoughts as the remainder of a 
fallen race. Your child will yield to the lust of the 
flesh as all other children of that age. Your child 
is liable to commit "self abuse" at that age and be- 
come diseased in body and mind. Your child is no 
exception to the rule of the lust of human nature. 

All flesh is the same, and all flesh is lustful 
and sinful at the age of puberty. Your child is 
liable to contract syphilis and gonorrhea at that 
age, as other children. Your child is made of the 
same flesh and blood as other children, and all chil- 
dren come into the "evil days" at the age of pub- 
erty. Parents, be careful, watch them at that age, 
keep them pure. You owe this to yourself and to 
your offspring and to God. 

All impurity is within the sex brain and the 
sex thoughts. Jesus said, "Do not give that which 
is holy to dogs." The dog is a sensual animal. In 
the Bible, he is used as a type of lust and sensuality. 
In Revelation, he is used to type, in thought, the 
state of the lost. The dog is used as the type of 
the sensual in thought. The sensual minded can- 
not understand that which is spiritual. The carnal 
minded will not accept that which is spiritual. Those 
who are living for the lust of the flesh will not ac- 
cept Christianity. Christianity is holiness, and 



—208 — 



holiness is the spiritual ideas of God and life. 
Hence, our Lord said, "Do not give that which is 
holy to the dogs," they will not accept it. You must 
be willing to surrender carnality before you can ac- 
cept Christianity. You must be willing to give up 
lust before you accept that which is holy. Jesus 
said, "Do not cast your pearls before swine." The 
swine is a hog and used in the Bible to type sensu- 
ality. He is a sensual animal. The Orthodox Jew 
will not eat swine or pork. This is the reason. 
Swine is carnal in its nature and, as food, produces 
carnal flesh in the consumer. 

The food we eat determines to a large degree 
our state of thought. If we eat pork or hog meat 
and the lower animals as food, we become carnal in 
thought; hence, the vegetarian system of food. Its 
purpose is to reduce the carnal in thought. The 
swine is one of the lowest types of the animal crea- 
tion. He is very carnal as an animal. When Jesus 
cast the devils out of the "Mad man" they went in- 
to the swine. They were at home there. Devils are 
carnal thoughts and the swine is carnal in his 
nature. These devils were in their own habitation 
when they were within the swine. Pearls type that 
which is pure. That is purity in thought. The Holy 
City of the New Jerusalem in Revelation is sym- 
bolized through the metal gold. 

Jesus meant by this parable, "Do not cast your 
pearls before swine," to not give spiritualized 
ideas to the carnal minded. They will not accept 
them. It is useless to waste time and energy 
in an effort to teach the carnal minded spiritual 
ideas. It is useless to attempt to teach the carnal 
minded the truth of the Bible. It is useless to at- 
tempt to teach the impure purity, unless they are 



—209— 



willing to surrender impurity and to become pure. 
Carnality must be surrendered for spirituality to be 
obtained. Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give 
than to receive." All selfishness is within the car- 
nal mind and the lust of the flesh and the sex brain. 
Greed and selfishness are within the sex mind. He 
that overcomes this is generous and kind. He has 
charity for all. He is unselfish, hence Jesus said, 
"It is more blessed to give than to receive." 

Jesus said, "Let not your right hand know what 
your left hand doeth." The carnal mind is vain. It 
lives for self adoration; it will give to the poor, not 
for the poor's sake, but for self glory. The sex mind 
has no pure charity. It is all self adoration. He 
that has overcome this mind is a Christian. He 
does not desire self adoration. He does good for 
the sake of good, hence Jesus said, "Do not let your 
right hand know what your left hand doeth." Again 
Jesus said. "A man's enemies shall be they of his 
own household." This is true. If a man is spirit- 
ual and his wife is lustful, she is his enemy. If she 
is spiritual and becomes a Christian and is living 
for the spiritual, he is her enemy. 

Here is where the friction in household begins. 
The father and mother will become the enemies of 
the child on this question. Sex is the parting of the 
ways in thought. Domestic troubles have their 
origin within the sex. When they are mated sex- 
ually, they will remain together until they indulge 
and destroy each other. When they are not mated 
sexually, there is domestic friction and separation. 
The divorce courts are the homes of sex troubles. 
Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their dead." All of 
the carnal minded are spiritually dead. They have 
no spiritual insight and no spiritual understanding. 



—210 — 



They are not conscious of the presence of God as 
spiritual Being. They do not discern his spiritual 
ideas. It is this state of consciousness that pro- 
duces death. It was the serpent and the lust of the 
flesh that produced death. 

Carnality is death. Jesus said, "Let the dead 
bury their dead." That is, lust is the Father of 
death, and those who are in this state of thought 
are dead and should bury the dead. Again he said, 
"The blind lead the blind, and both fall into the 
ditch." All who are carnal minded are spiritually 
blind. The serpent's mind destroys the sight of the- 
spiritual ideas of the soul. Those that are carnal 
minded are spiritually blind, and they are leading 
the carnal minded, who are spiritually blind, and 
both go into the ditch together — that is, to spiritual 
destruction. Jesus said, "Except you become as a 
little child you can no wise enter the Kingdom of 
Heaven." The little child has no sex consciousness, 
it has not reached the age of puberty. The "Evil 
days" have not come. It is innocent of the ser- 
pent's mind and death. 

All must overcome the serpent's mind and the 
lust of the flesh to enter the Kingdom of Heaven — 
that is, to enter that state of spiritual thought 
wherein the soul knows God spiritually and can dis- 
cern him and his presence with spiritual sense. 
Again Jesus said: "Some men were born Eunochs 
and some men are made Eunochs of men, and some 
men make themselves Eunochs for the kingdom of 
Heaven's sake." A Eunoch is one who has been 
castrated. He has been deprived of his sex brain. 
Some men are deprived of this faculty by men 
physically. Others are born without this faculty 
from their mother's womb, but those who enter the 



— 211— 



kingdom of Heaven have become spiritual Eunochs. 
They have overcome the carnal in thought and de- 
sire. None enter the kingdom of Heaven except 
Eunochs — spiritual Eunochs. Nothing that is car- 
nal can enter there. Heaven is the state of the soul 
wherein purity is the law of thought. 

Emasculation will not make the soul pure. Origin, 
the great scholar of the early church fathers, emas- 
culated himself. He read what the Master said 
upon this question, and the battle between the soul 
and carnality was so great with him, that he com- 
mited violence on his own person, and he emascu- 
lated himself. But physical emasculation will not 
make the soul pure. The soul must become pure in 
thought. Its ideas must be spiritual ideas and not 
carnal ideas; its thoughts spiritual thoughts and 
not carnal thoughts for the soul to enter Heaven. 
Heaven is the state of thought wherein the soul 
only knows spiritual sense. All of the sayings of 
the Master were based on the law of carnality and 
the law of spirituality. When the Master spoke the 
parable of the great feast, where many were invited 
and all gave excuses, he had in mind the law of the 
flesh and the law of the spirit. The feast was a 
spiritual feast. All gave excuses. None could at- 
tend. The great supper was there, the table was 
loaded down with spiritual food, it was the "tree 
of life," it was the Christ mind. They were in- 
vited to this banquet that their souls might eat and 
live. The food was spiritual food, it was the man- 
na of Heaven — it was God's spiritual ideas, but 
they all gave excuses; some had this thing to do, 
and others had that thing to do, and all begged to 
be excused. Sex was the excuse of the last man. 
But the last man did not beg to be excused, he said 



—212- 



he had married him a wife and he could not come. 
It was not a question of excuse with him. It was 
a question of Impossibility. He had married a wife 
and it was Impossible to attend the banquet of a 
spiritual feast. 

His feast was carnality, it was that feast which 
made Adam say to Eve, "This is bone of my bone 
and flesh of my flesh.'' This was the serpent's 
mind, and this mind of the lust of the flesh drove 
them out of Eden, which was the spiritual image of 
the Father, and produced death and caused the 
woman the "desire to be unto her husband" and 
"gave him" sexual "dominion" over her. This was 
the feast that the man who had married him a wife 
had at home. He could not attend the heavenly 
feast for his soul had not fed upon the spiritual 
manna of Heaven, and had not drunk of the water 
of Eternal life. His desires were carnal and his 
thoughts were lustful and his soul was "defiled" 
and "polluted." He did not ask to be excused. He 
simply Could not Come; he had married him a wife 
and that settled the question. 

None will attend the feast of the soul until they 
have overcome the lust of the flesh. None want 
life until they have overcome death, hence Jesus 
told the good servant to go out into the "highways 
and byways" and bring in the "lam.e and the halt" 
and the "poor and the humble" that they might eat 
of the bread of life, that they might feast their 
souls upon spiritual ideas. And he said at the great 
day that none of those who had been invited and 
declined to attend the feast would be at the "great 
feast" which will be the general judgment and eter- 
nal spiritual life. None of those who are following 
the appetites of the lust of the flesh will be at the 



—213— 



^^great feast" in the general judgment day. There 
will not be any at the "great feast" on that day ex- 
cept those who have overcome the lust of the flesh 
— only those who have overcome carnal desires and 
lustful appetites on that day will have the "image 
of the Father" and spiritual understanding within 
the consciousness of their souls. 



—214— 



CHAPTER XIIL 

Those who have not overcome the lust of the 
flesh will be "obsessed" and "possessed" with car- 
nal ideas. They will still be "besieged" and within 
the grasp of the lust of the flesh in thought and 
desire. The mere overcoming the lust of the flesh 
in act will not give the soul spiritual life. The lust 
of the flesh must be overcome in thought and con- 
sciousness for the soul to have spiritual life and 
spiritual understanding. 

The Author recalls personally a maiden lady 
who was pure physically; she had preserved her 
physical virtue. Yet in her consciousness she felt 
that she had missed something in life. She felt that 
she had missed wifehood and motherhood. She had 
not overcome the senses; she was not pure in 
thought and consciousness. Within her conscious- 
ness she wished she could live life over again and 
have the carnal senses gratified. This thought was 
so prevalent in her consciousness she was always 
talking about boys. She wanted young boys around 
her. She wanted to adopt young boys. Young boys 
from sixteen to twenty were her prevailing thought, 
but she did not know why. They were of the op- 
posite sex. That was the reason, and the opposite 
sex was within her consciousness.- 

She had no use for girls. She did not want 
them around her. They did not appeal to her. She 
wanted to preach. She felt that she had her mag- 
netic and sex forces, but she did not. This was a 
delusion. Frequently "obsession" takes this turn 

— 215 — 



of thought. Maiden ladies who have practiced self 
abuse always want to work in the churches. There 
is an innate guilt within their consciousness and 
they want to flee to some source to hide the thought 
of guilt. They are very emotional. Their thoughts 
are of the senses. They make great workers in re- 
vivals, where the senses and the emotion is the con- 
trolling thought. But the pure minded maiden lady, 
who is a virgin indeed, and has preserved her vir- 
ginity in thought, is not thus "possessed." She is 
sweet of face, and pure of character. The maiden 
lady who has lived a spiritual life, indeed, and is a 
virgin in thought, is the purest of all characters, 
and the sweetest in thought and heart. She is not 
"possessed." She has mastered the senses and over- 
come them in consciousness. She is not emotional; 
she is not of the senses in thought; she does not 
make a good worker at revivals, where the senses 
and emotions is the religion. 

Her religion is Christianity. It is not of the 
senses. With her, religion is a matter of spiritual 
ideas and spiritual thoughts, and not emotion of the 
senses. 

This "obsession" of the senses is death. The 
Author knew of a case where a man became "ob- 
sessed" with a woman. She infatuated him. They 
indulged so much in one day and night that his 
nervous system gave way within twenty-four hours. 
He said he felt a quivering throughout his body. He 
went to a professional masseur, who was a personal 
friend of the Author, and told his story. The mas- 
suer did all he could to restore his nerves and circu- 
lation. He died. His nerve centers had given away 
as the result of the shock. He had killed himself 
within twenty-four hours. This woman "obsessed" 



— 216 — 



him so that she destroyed him in twenty-four hours. 

The Author recalls another case where a man 
became very much infatuated with a woman. He 
was "obsessed" by her. He was a successful busi- 
ness man and he equipped her with a handsome 
residence and lived with her and indulged carnally 
for some eight years. All the time his brain power 
was going and his mentality was fading way. Fi- 
nally, one day while sitting in an automobile his 
heart ceased to beat for the want of nervous force. 
She had destroyed him and sent him_ to his grave in 
the prime of life. 

The Author recalls two handsomxC young people 
who got married, they were young and handsome 
and had means to enjoy social life. They were "ob- 
sessed" by each other. They could not control 
themselves. Their senses were their masters. The 
husband's heart began to fail. The nerves that con- 
trol the heart were giving away. Mutual friends, 
who were acquainted with the facts, advised them 
that they had better be cautious and that the hus- 
band's heart would not stand the indulgence of the 
senses. The wife replied that she wanted to live 
while she was living. They continued to gratify the 
senses; they could not come out from under the 
"obsession." In a few months the husband was dead 
with heart failure. 

The Author recalls another case where a young 
man was "obsessed" with "self abuse." He was some 
three years older than the Author; they were boys 
together. This young man was much stronger 
than the Author; nature had given him a good and 
strong body. But he soon became all stooped over 
and contracted in the chest, shame of face and weak 
in the eyes. He would not look you in the eyes when 



—217 



conversing with you. This was so noticeable that 
the older people in the community were all talking 
about it, but they were ignorant as to the cause. 
Later in life, when the Author became a lawyer and 
saw cases of this nature in the courts, where they 
were being investigated for insanity, he under- 
stood it all. This young man destroyed himself. 
His brain forces were gone. 

The senses destroy the brain. The nerve force 
that runs the entire system is generated in the 
brain and distributed through the human system 
by way of the spinal cord and the generative or- 
gans. Sex indulgence shocks the brain, destroys 
the nerve centers and weakens the nerve force. It 
produces softening of the brain, insanity and pre- 
mature old age. Parents should watch the youth in 
youthful years. That is when men and women are 
made or destroyed. A girl or boy that becomes 
"obsessed" while developing into womanhood or 
manhood, and practices "self abuse" or indulges 
sexually, cannot make a strong man or woman men- 
tally nor a normal man or woman physically. 

The "obsession" of the senses knows no com- 
promise. It is hatred and death. The Author re- 
calls a case where a woman became infatuated with 
a minister. They indulged in immoral practices; 
she became "obsessed" by him. Their relations 
were immoral, and through these immoral relations 
her soul lost all control. The minister became en- 
gaged and was going to get married. On the Sun- 
day before he was to get married on Tuesday, while 
he was is his pulpit preaching, she went to the 
church with a razor in her pocket, walked down the 
aisle of the church to the pulpit, and lunged at him 
with a razor. As she came into one side of the pul- 



—218— 



pit with the razor, he came out the other. She had 
chosen this means of destroying him. If she could 
not have him, she would rather kill him than see 
another woman have him. That is the law of the 
"obsession" of the serpent. 

An English queen had Sir Walter Raliegh put 
to death for the same reason, if history can be be- 
lieved. In ancient times this was a practice in the 
courts of the Orient. In the palaces of the kings 
and queens many met their death as the result of 
"obsession." The king would secure a woman that 
he was "obsessed" with, use her to gratify his lust, 
and then have her killed. Queens would secure men 
that "obsessed" them and use them to gratify their 
passion and then have them killed. This was the 
law of "obsession" and the serpent. It is death 
and destruction. 

All revolutions are caused by the same law. Up- 
heavals in society are produced by the same law. 
All France was mesmerized with sex thought and 
hatred during the French Revolution. 

Jesus lived above this law in thought and con- 
sciousness and cast the thought out of the con- 
sciousness of others who were "obsessed" by sex 
mesmerism and restored them to their normal 
thinking faculties. Jesus' resurrection was within 
his own thought and consciousness. His real resur- 
rection took place within his own consciousness and 
thought before he went into the grave. He said, "I 
have power to lay my life down and to take it up 
again." He had overcome the "Prince of this 
world," which is lust and sex mesmerism in thought 
and consciousness, hence he had power to lay his 
life down and to take it up again. 

The fact that he had been resurrected within 



— -Jig- 



his own consciousness and thought enabled him 
physically to come out of the grave. As we over- 
come the senses in thought, we are being resur- 
rected, and when we shall have overcome the last 
thought of the senses, in thought and conscious- 
ness, we will be resurrected with him, for we shall 
have overcome death. The Psalmist expressed it 
when he said: "Judge me, Lord, for I have 
walked in mine integrity; I have trusted also in the 
Lord; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, 
Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 
For thy loving kindness is before mine eyes, and I 
have walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain 
persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I 
have hated the congregation of evil doers, and will 
not sit with the wicked. I will wash mine hands in 
innocency; so will I compass thine altar, Lord." 
Psalm 26:1-6. 

The true altar of God is that holv state of mind 
wherein the soul has overcome the carnal in con- 
sciousness and can commune with God through the 
spiritual senses of the soul. We are erecting an 
altar to God every moment, as we overcome the 
carnal in thought, and we are being resurrected 
every moment as we overcome lust in conscious- 
ness. When the last thought of the senses shall 
have been overcome in consciousness we shall have 
erected the eternal altar to God, and have partaken 
of the general Judgment and the Eternal Resur- 
rection. 

"The congregation of evil doers" is the congre- 
gation of the carnal senses. "Evil" is within the 
lust senses. The "wicked" David says he will not 
sit with, are the carnal senses in thought. When 
we shall have overcome the "congregation of evil 



—220— 



doers/' that is, the congregation of the carnal 
senses, we shall sit in the congregation of the holy 
— that is, we shall be so pure in thought we shall 
know God as our spiritual father. 

The music of the "congregation of evil doers'' 
is confusion. It is not the music of the congrega- 
tion of the holy. The music of the congregation of 
the holy is spiritual notes, and it is harmony. The 
notes of music of the "congregation of the evil 
doers" is discord. What is passing as current 
Christianity is of the senses and of the "congrega- 
tion of evil doers," and it is discord. Take sex out 
of their religion and their systems of worship, and 
like Babylon of old, "harpers" will soon be heard 
"no more" within their temples and churches. 

In the very nature of things there cannot be 
anything spiritual connected with the marriage re- 
lation and carnal propogation. The orthodox Jew 
did not make marriage a sacrament of his religion. 
He had no priestly ceremony at a marriage. He 
knew it was carnal. The young people who were 
the contracting parties simply announced that they 
had agreed to become husband and wife, in the 
presence of their relatives and friends. It was a 
domestic occasion and not a religious occasion with 
the orthodox Jew. The orthodox Jew knew that all 
that was connected with the marriage relation was 
carnal. Orthodoxy means "Righteousness" and not 
carnality. The orthodox Jew was supposed to be 
"righteous" and therefore looked upon marriage 
as a matter of carnality. 

Until this day, if you go to the orthodox Jew 
synagogue, on the day of atonement, you will see all 
the married men dressed in robes, in which they 
are supposed to be buried. These robes are "sack 



—221- 



cloth" and are not worn by the single men. They 
are supposed to cover up the "nakedness" after 
"shame." They are symbolic of Adam and Eve hav- 
ing been turned out of the Garden of Eden on ac- 
count of lust and they were ashamed. They at- 
tempted to cover up their "shame." The robes of 
cloth the orthodox married Jew wears, on the day 
of atonement, are supposed to hide his "nakedness." 
They are emblematic, too, of repenting in "sack 
cloth and ashes," for the lust and sin of the mar- 
ried state. The unmarried orthodox Jew does not 
wear these robes and "sack cloths" on the day of 
atonement. It is presumed that he has never been 
through carnality. 

Marriage only came into the church as a sacra- 
ment of the church through paganism. All the 
pagan religions made marriage holy and sacred, 
because they were sex worshippers. They were 
bowed down to the sensual in thought, and lust was 
their religion. And hence, marriage was a sacra- 
ment of their religion. Go to the Catholic church 
today and you will see the married women fifty and 
sixty years of age, who are going down the decline 
of life and who know that the sunset of life will 
soon go down with them, counting the "Stations of 
the cross" and praying at each "Station of the 
cross." They have been through carnality, and they 
want their souls purged from sin. When young 
women, they were led to the altar in that church or 
some other church by men, and the priest or priests 
pronounced the marriage state holy; then they went 
through carnality. Now in old age they are pray- 
ing to have their souls purged from the carnal 
which was pronounced holy at the altar, when they 
were young and took husbands. 



— 222- 



There can be nothing holy in the carnal, and 
no man made system of law can make the carnal 
holy. The clergy in every possible way have tried 
to make lust holy, by making marriage an institu- 
tion of the church. But they cannot make the car- 
nal spiritual. Our Lord said, "The children of this 
world marry and are given in marriage. But they 
which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that 
world and the resurrection from the dead, neither 
marry nor are given in marriage." Luke 20:35. 

If this is true, the converse is true. If those 
who have been resurrected from the lust of the 
flesh and have no desire for the opposite sex car- 
nally and the marriage state, obtain life eternal, 
"And are the children of that world," those who 
have not overcome the lust of the flesh and been 
resurrected from death still have within their con- 
sciousness the desire to "marry and be given in 
marriage." In other words, those who have not 
overcome that which makes them marry in this 
world, are spiritually dead over there. They have 
lust in consciousness and are spiritually dead. 

Man admits and the woman admits publicly, 
when they get married, that in thought and con- 
sciousness they are bowing down to the god of lust. 
St. Paul meant what he said, when he said, "If you 
cannot contain, it is better to marry than to burn." 
He agreed with St. John that those "Who have been 
born of God cannot sin, for their seed remaineth 
within them." But St. Paul says, "If you cannot 
contain," that is, if you are not spiritual enough to 
retain your sex seed, that you had better marry 
than to lose it through mental "self abuse," and 
mental pollution and prostitution. St. Paul says 
that he wished all men were as he was, that is, 



— 223 — 



^'Never touched a woman." He was like St. John; 
he had been born again, and could "contain" his 
seed. Again the Apostle Paul said, "Marriage is 
honorable" and the bed "undefiled." He meant 
what he said. He was writing to those who had be- 
come Christians, since entering into the marriage 
state, and he meant that they should continue to 
live together, for this state was "honorable," if the 
hed was "undefiled," that is, if they abstained from 
sexual indulgence. 

The Apostle Paul meant to say, and did say as 
plain as he could write it, if a man and woman were 
husband and wife and they became Christians, that 
they should live life out together, as companions, 
and brothers and sisters, and abstain from the sex 
indulgence. Again he said, "Husbands, love thy 
wives, and wives, love thy husbands." He meant 
just what he said. The Greek word here translated 
"Love" is an entirely different word from the Greek 
word translated "Lust." It is lust that makes them 
marry. It is lust that makes them propogate. Love 
is of the soul. It is spiritual. The Apostle meant 
if a man and woman are married and become 
Christians, that they should cease to "lust" for each 
other and "love" each other. Their relations then 
become spiritual and not carnal. They abstain from 
sexual indulgence. 

Judas Ischariot kissed the Master with the kiss 
of betrayal. This kiss was of the senses. It was 
the carnal kiss. It is the kiss that the bride gives 
the groom and the groom gives the bride. It is from 
the sex brain. It was of the serpent. It was the 
symbol of the carna] senses betraying the soul. That 
is what the kiss of Judas Ischariot was symbolic of 
when he kissed the Savior and betrayed him. It 



—224- 



was the language of the serpent that betrayed the 
soul of Eve, hence St. Paul wrote to the Christians- 
to salute each other with a "Holy kiss." That is, 
the kiss of the soul, and not with the kiss of the 
carnal senses of the lips, which is from the sex 
brain. The Christians kissed each other not in the 
mouth, but on the face. 

The Apostles went to sleep in Gethsemane. This 
was symbolic of the carnal senses of the sex brain 
going to sleep. The soul goes to sleep in lust of the 
carnal senses. All that is of the carnal senses and 
the sex brain betrays the soul. And this lie is within 
all of us. The children of Isreal going into Egypt 
was symbolic of the soul going into the carnal 
senses in thought. Egypt was symbolic of sensual- 
ity and spiritual darkness. We are all in Egypt 
spiritually, and the race has been in Egypt in all 
ages, spiritually. 

As we go out of the carnal senses in thought 
we go out of Egypt into the land of Canaan, which 
is symbolic of the land of spiritual understanding. 
As we become non-carnal in thought, the Red Sea 
rolls back from our spiritual understanding, and 
we pass over on dry land, spiritually, from the land 
of Egypt and carnality, into the land of spirituality. 

The city of Jericho falling is symbolic of the 
carnal senses falling within our thoughts. The city 
of Jericho is within all of us, and as we become 
spiritual and non-sensual in thought, the walls of 
this carnal city fall within our spiritual under- 
standing, and we march on toward the land of Ca- 
naan, flowing with spiritual "milk and honey." The 
Jews going into Babylon is symbolic of the soul go- 
ing into the captivity of the carnal senses. The city 
of Babylon is within us all. As we become non- 



carnal in thought v/e leave this city of captivity of 
the lust senses and return to Jerusalem, the city of 
soul vision. 

The Philistines were the "uncircumcised Philis- 
tines/' The Philistines were symbolic of the carnal 
senses. We all have the Philistines within us. The 
Philistines were symbolic of the thought of the sex 
l)rain. They became diseased with "Emrods" in 
their "secret parts," when they took charge of the 
Ark of God and their gods fell. When they took 
the Ark of God out of Shiloh, they became diseased 
in their "private parts," and their national god, 
^'Dagon," fell. Shiloh is the Christ mind and Dagon 
is the mind of the sex brain. The race is diseased 
in its "private parts" by Dagon — lust. 

The Philistines are with us today, and have 
been with the race in all ages, and it is diseased 
in its "private parts," from syphilis and gonorrhea, 
and with all manner and forms of disease. The 
children of Isreal were told to drive out the Philis- 
tines, the Canaanites, the Amorites, etc. They were 
told to drive out all the heathen nations, with their 
heathen gods, from the land of Canaan. These 
heathen gods were the carnal senses of the sex 
hrain. They are within all the race and must be 
driven out of thought and consciousness for the 
soul to come into the land of Canaan, flowing with 
^^milk and honey" and commune with God spirit- 
ually. As the race becomes spiritual and overcomes 
lust, it will be delivered of the "Emrods" within the 
^'private parts" of the race and saved from disease. 
The diseases of the "private parts" are the results 
of sin and lust. Purity will save the race from the 
"Emrods" within the "secret parts" of the Philis- 
tines. 



—226- 



Babylon means "The gate of the gods and con- 
fusion." The orgasm of the sex act is the gate and 
the way to the essence of the thought and con- 
sciousness of the god of lust, and this is "confusion/^ 
The belief in the pleasure of the senses and of this 
act is the lie of the serpent, and the belief in this lie 
has caused all the trouble, sorrow, suffering, dis- 
ease and insanity of the race. Without the belief 
in the pleasure of the senses and the sex act, there 
would be no disease and insanity. Remove the lie 
that there is pleasure in the senses and in the or- 
gasm of the sex act from the consciousness of the 
minds and souls of the race and you will stop all 
strife, discord, confusion, disease, insanity and 
death. That is what the Holy Spirit does when He 
comes into the consciousness of the soul. The Holy 
Spirit which is the Comforter when he comes into 
the consciousness of the soul, quickens the soul to 
life and removes the lie from the soul that there 
is pleasure in the carnal senses and the orgasm 
of the sex act. Then the soul becomes alive. It is 
quickened from the death of the lust of the flesh. 
It is sanctified. The party then becomes a Christian. 

Jesus said, "The Father had sanctified the 
Son." That is, the Father had made the Son holy, 
and He had overcome the lie of the serpent that 
there is pleasure within the carnal senses and the 
orgasm of the sex act. And the Son being in this 
holy state of thought imparted the thoughts of his 
mind to the consciousness of others, and removed 
from their thoughts and state of consciousness the 
belief of pleasure in the carnal senses, and the or- 
gasm of the sex act, and "Healed them." 

All the sorrow of the race, revolves around the 
lie that there is pleasure within the carnal senses 



and the orgasm of the sex act. All other lust of the 
flesh revolves around the lust of the sex act. All 
lust of the flesh comes out of the lust of the sex act. 
The desire for liquor and drugs comes from lust. 
The common prostitute soon becomes a drunkard 
and a drug fiend. The immoral man desires liquor 
and drugs as a rule. Falsehood com.es out of the 
lust of the flesh. Every lav^yer knows, as a rule, 
that he cannot believe the testimony of a fallen 
woman, nor of a man who practices "self abuse." 
They are depraved in thought and will lie. Every 
lawyer knows that the fallen woman is dishonest, 
ajid that a man who is infatuated with a woman, 
will steal that he may get what he needs to gratify 
her wants. 

The mind of the sex brain is dishonest, and un- 
truthful. All honesty and character is within the 
mind of the soul. All truth is spiritual. All 'false- 
hood is of the senses and the mind of the sex brain. 
The law of thought of the sex brain is destruction. 
The old man who marries a young woman digs his 
own grave. He does not live long„ He soon be- 
comes sunken in the back of the neck, where the 
vital forces are located, and dies. The life of the 
fallen woman is of short duration. The depravity 
of thought as well as a diseased body, soon de- 
stroys her. The remorse within the consciousness 
of her soul poisons the body as well as the mind, 
and she soon dies both physically and spiritually. 
This is the law of the serpent. 

The young man who begins sex indulgence 
early in life ages prematurely. The author has 
known boys, early after puberty, to begin sex in- 
dulgence. . At twenty or twenty-five years of age 
they were physical and mental wrecks. The man 



—228 — 



should never indulge sexually until he is thirty- 
years of age, and then only for propogation. The 
male does not mature sexually until thirty. While 
he is developing mentally and physically into ma- 
turity, he should totally abstain from all carnal 
indulgence. To do this, he should keep his mind 
and soul pure in thought. He should live above the 
carnal in thought. That is what our Master did. 

The female does not mature sexually until she 
is twenty-five. This is the normal age for a woman 
to marry and become a mother. If she marries or 
becomes a mother in young girlhood, while she is 
maturing, she will be an old woman at maturity. 
This is the law of the serpent. But to abstain until 
she is twenty-five years of age she should live a 
pure life in thought and keep her consciousness 
free from sex thoughts. If she indulges in carnal 
thoughts and lust desires she is liable to become a 
physical and nervous wreck. By indulging in car- 
nal and lustful thoughts she generates the sex 
fluids in a larger degree than her body needs and 
can consume; and as a result she poisons her whole 
system — and mind, too. Mental "Self Abuse" is the 
worst kind of "self abuse;" it is destructive in its 
very nature. Sex maturity varies with climate. 
But we are now speaking of the average age of the 
race. 

Purity is virginity. A physical virgin may be 
a harlot. Virginity does not consist in physical 
purity, but in mental and spiritual purity. Our 
Lord was spiritually a virgin and so are all Chris- 
tians and the holy and sanctified. When John the 
Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus, Jesus said unto 
them "Go and shew John again those things which 
ye do hear and see, the blind receive their sight, 



229 



and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the 
deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor 
have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is 
he whosoever shall not be offended in Me." Matt. 
11 :4-6. 

Here is the law of purity. The people were 
lepers because of the impurity of the age. Leprosy 
is a high form of syphillis. The leper is "unclean." 
His disease is the result of the serpent's sting. The 
*'lame" are afflicted from the same thought. 
^^Deafness" comes from the sin of the serpent. And 
death itself results from the serpent. Sex lust is 
the father of them all. Jesus cured them all and 
raised the dead. He cast out of their consciousness 
the belief in the pleasure of the carnal senses and 
the orgasm of the sex act, and "healed them" and 
^'raised the dead," and he said, "Blessed is he who 
shall not be offended in me." The carnal minded 
are offended by the law of purity. The impure 
are "ashamed." They have guilt within the con- 
sciousness of their souls. 

If the race would overcome sin and sex lust, 
in consciousness and thought, there would be no 
more shame. The people of Nazareth were im- 
pure when Jesus went down there to preach to 
them. They had Sodom and Gomorrah in their 
consciousness, and hence his purity of thought 
aroused their indignation and "they led Him to the 
top of the hill of their town to kick Him down 
head foremost." Had the people down there been 
pure and non-sensual, they would have received his 
message in Nazareth. Only the pure will receive 
the Gospel. The Gospel means the new ideas of the 
soul. The Gospel is the overcoming of carnality, 
and the thoughts and desires of the orgasm of the 



—230— 



sex act, and coming into the new ideas of the spirit 
and of soul sense. Hence, the Gospel will always 
arouse the indignation of the pagan.

CHAPTER XIV. 

The pagan is a sex worshipper. He is living 
for and worships the gods of the carnal senses, 
and the belief in pleasure of the orgasm of the 
sex act. The orgasm of the sex act is his god. This 
thought is the god of all the pagan world and all 
that is human within man. The overcoming of this 
thought within the consciousness of the soul is the 
Gospel, and life eternal. 

Purity arouses the resentment of the impure. 
A pure minded minister of today who would preach 
the Gospel would meet with indignation and wrath 
at the hands of the pagan world. A minister whose 
message is received by a pagan world is preaching 
the carnal senses. He is preaching the senses to 
the carnal senses of his hearers. The author knows 
of a good lady who had read "The Truth About the 
Bible,'' by the author. After having read it, she 
had a conception of what constituted Christianity. 
There was a clergyman preaching near her and 
she went to hear him; after the services were over 
she met him. She had in mind the ideas contained 
in the author's "Truth About the Bible," so she 
said to the clergyman when she met him, "Is there 
a Mrs?" meaning, of course, did the clergyman have 
a wife. The clergyman did not know what she had 
in mind, and was blind to her viewpoint of the 
Bible. He smiled, with a gracious smile, and said, 
"Yes, and eight little ones." The lady then could 
readily understand the nature of the discourse 
she had just listened to, which the clergyman had 

— 232 — 



just preached and which he termed the "Gospel." 
The author recalls another superb illustration 
of the preaching of the senses to the senses. He has 
a friend who has read and studied the author's 
"Truth About the Bible." This man is a man of 
piety and Christian spirit, and he related person- 
ally to the author this state of facts. That he 
knew of a young, virile and well developed minister, 
who was supposed to be a minister of the Gospel. 
The whole town was wild about him, especially the 
ladies. The ladies who were of young womanhood 
and up to middle age, would pack the church to 
hear him preach. The author's friend, who knew 
him, said after the services were over the minister 
would come down and shake hands with the au- 
dience; that frequently he would receive many 
notes from the hands of the ladies for private en- 
gagements; that on one occasion when the minister 
had finished shaking hands with the audience after 
preaching, he had fifteen notes in his pocket which 
had been placed in his hand by the ladies, while he 
was shaking hands with the audience, requesting 
private engagements, and three of them were from 
a mother and her two daughters. Of course, the 
mother did not know that either one of the daugh- 
ters had placed a note in his hand, and neither 
one of the daughters knew that the other sister or 
the mother had placed a note in his hand. 

This occurence was related to the author by a 
reputable man whom the author believes to be a 
Christian gentleman; and we here relate it to show 
the law of the carnal senses and to demonstrate 
the law of sex magnetism. The minister referred 
to, by his sex forces, had stirred up the sex forces 
of the opposite sex of his audience. This is what 



— 233 — 



is daily being preached as the "Gospel/' This is 
sex worship and paganism; and it has prevailed in 
all ages. It is not Christianity. The early Chris- 
tians had none of the emotions of the senses in 
their worship. They met, and some elder would 
read an extract from one of the Gospels or an 
epistle from one of the apostles, or some other por- 
tion of the Scriptures, and then they went into 
silence. They silenced the senses. They made ''AH 
the earth be still" in the house of God. 

There they silenced the carnal mind and the 
thoughts of the sex brain, and went into spiritual 
sense, in thought; and communed with God as 
spirit. There they "chanted the psalms" as the 
spiritual music of the soul. They had no "har- 
rangues" of the senses from some well sexed and 
virile man to stir their sex forces. Their senses 
were not stirred up by the senses of the opposite 
sex. The "Harrangues" of the carnal senses were 
of later day developing. They came into the 
Christian church, as paganism took charge of 
Christianity, and adulterated Christian thought 
with carnality. The preaching of the mind of the 
sex brain is of paganism. 

To illustrate the truth of this, when a minister 
of modern times becomes old, and his sex forces 
begin to fail him, he is forced to resign. He can- 
not hold his audience. His preaching was of the 
carnal senses and the sex brain, and when they 
fail, he fails. If his preaching were of the soul, 
in old age and when he should be spiritual, he 
could do his best work. The Apostle John did not 
write his Gospel until he was an old man. He had 
lived a pure life, and in old age the veil of the sex 

—234— 



senses had become thin, and his soul could pene- 
trate into the spiritual world. 

The saintly apostle had failed physically and 
his sex forces were fading away in thought and 
consciousness, hence, he could see with soul vision, 
and with the eye spiritual, and wrote to the 
churches the most spiritual message of all the 
apostles. He left to the saints of all ages the state 
of thought of his pure soul as a message divine. 
As the mind of Satan and the sex forces faded 
away in thought and became as nothing to him, he 
saw the Holy City with the eye divine. He did 
not "resign" his Apostleship because his sex forces 
had failed; but declared his son-ship with God. 

The true Christian minister does not need his 
sex forces to discern with an eye divine the spirit- 
ual truths of the Gospel and to deliver them (in 
spiritual communion) to souls that are hungering 
for the spiritual food of life. But the pagan minis- 
ter of the carnal senses needs his sex forces and his 
sex brain. His message is one from the carnal 
senses and sex brain, and without his sex forces 
and sex brain, he is a failure. All things human 
are built on the sex brain. Human governments, 
industry, commerce and all human ambition are 
built on the sex brain. 

Sex worship permeates our systems of religion 
today as it did in the days of Babylon. The choirs 
that sing in our churches are young and virile; the 
old are not there. They have not the sex forces to 
stir up the carnal senses of the audience. The au- 
thor has heard of an occurrence which illustrates 
the truth of this law. A clergyman who thought he 
was preaching the Gospel, but who, as a matter 
of fact was preaching the carnal senses of his sex 



—235- 



brain, was conducting a "revival." The weather 
was cold. He was not having much of a success. 
It seemed that the "revival" was going to be a 
failure. The clergyman came ahead of the au- 
dience one day and said to the janitor: "Build a 
good fire; this building has been too cold; the peo- 
ple's feet have been cold; this meeting has been 
a failure; build up a fire here and just heat up 
this building; whoever heard tell of people getting 
religion with cold feet?" The clergyman, ignorant- 
ly was expressing the law of sex psychology. 
Every man who has studied the law of sex psy- 
chology knows if you put a well sexed, virile man 
by the side of a virile woman and the atmosphere 
is warm, that a sex current is immediately form.ed 
between them. The man is the positive force, and 
the woman is the negative force of the current. 

The stronger they are, and the more virile they 
are, and the warmer the atmosphere is in the room, 
the stronger and more forceful the sex current will 
be. In a short time their sex senses have formed 
the unit of carnal thought. Their sex brains be- 
come polarized. This accounts for so much copu- 
lation between sexes during "Revivals" and in- 
crease of childbirth thereafter. 

In a cold room, the current will not form so 
well. This is the law. Fill a house about half and 
half with males and females and heat it, and the 
current immediately forms and the emotions of the 
senses become strong. They are soon ready to 
"shout." The more animal they are, and the less 
intelligent they are, the harder they will "shout," 
and the stronger will be the current of the carnal 
senses. This is sex worship. 

This was the preaching of Simon, the magician. 



-236— 



"But there was a certain man called Simon, which 
before time in the same city used sorcery and be- 
witched the people of Samaria, giving out that 
himself was some great one; to whom, they all 
gave heed, from the least to the greatest saying, 
this man is the great power of God. And to him 
they had regard because that of long time he had 
bewitched them with sorceries. But when they be- 
lieved Phillip preaching the things concerning the 
kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they 
were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon, 
himself, believed also; and when he was baptized 
he continued with Phillip, and wondered beholding 
the miracles and signs which were done. Now, 
when the Apostles, which were at Jerusalem heard 
that Samaria had received the word of God they 
sent unto them Peter and John, v/ho when they 
were come down, prayed for them that they might 
receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He was fallen 
upon none of them; only they were baptized in the 
name of the Lord Jesus! 

Then laid they their hands on them, and they 
received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw 
that through laying on of the Apostles' hands, the 
Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, say- 
ing: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever 
I lay hands he may receive the Holy Ghost. But 
Peter said unto him. Thy money perish with thee 
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may 
be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part 
nor lot in this matter for thy heart is not right in 
the sight of God. Repent therefore, of this, thy 
wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought 
of thine heart may be forgiven thee." Acts 8:9-22. 

Simon, the magician, was preaching his carnal 



—237— 



senses down at Samaria. This is sorcery. And we 
have Simon, the magician with us today. He has 
been with the race in all ages; he is within the sex 
brain. He was at Ephesus when Paul went there 
to preach, and they cried out: "Great is Dianna, 
the Ephesians, and great is Dianna, the Ephesians 
today, and great had been Dianna the Ephesians in 
all ages.'^ It is the magnetism of the sex brain. The 
Holy Ghost takes this thought out of the con- 
sciousness of the soul, and cleanses the soul from 
every desire and power of carnal m.agnetism. 

Peter said to Simon, the magician, "Repent 
therefore of this thy wickedness and pray God if 
perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven 
thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of 
bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. Then an- 
swered Simon, and said. Pray ye to the Lord for 
me that none of these things which ye have spoken 
come upon me." Acts 8:22-24. Simon, the magician, 
thought he could buy the Holy Ghost. The deprav- 
ity of the human heart and the sex brain, thinks 
that the spiritual can be purchased with money. 
Carnality believes that money represents all that is 
good, and that all that is good is within the senses; 
therefore, money will buy that which is good. The 
carnal senses and sex brain confound the evil of the 
senses with the good of the spiritual. Money will 
not buy the spiritual, but the Holy Ghost will re- 
move carnality from the soul and then the soul can 
conceive spiritually and discern spiritual ideas. 

The Author, as a lawyer, observed that all 
crime had its origin within the sex. He observed 
that the contentions of the human mind were lo- 
cated within the sex mind. He likewise observed 
that deception and untruthfulness had their origin 



-238— 



in the sex. In the daily examination of witnesses 
upon the witness stand his experience soon taught 
him that the hariot woman could not be believed on 
oath; neither could the man who practiced self 
abuse, nor the man who was impure and immoral in 
his personal life. He oftentimes endeavored to 
get the truth out of men and women that he be- 
lieved and was satisfied practiced self abuse. But 
he was never able to get one of these witnesses to 
look him in the face when he examined them on 
the witness stand. They had shame written within 
their expression and consciousness. And when be- 
ing examined would drop their eyes and look down- 
ward. Their action was in keeping with their tes- 
timony. Their testimony was untruthful as a 
rule, and their actions were those of shame and 
disgrace. 

He also observed that the contentions between 
husbands and wives had their origin within the 
sex. He saw in the courts the imbeciles being ex- 
amined for lunacy as the result of sex. He noticed 
that insanity had its origin within the sex. This 
led him to study the Bible from this viewpoint, 
and as he read the Bible from this viewpoint 
he could see all nature written within the Bible. 
He could see the causes of national upheavals and 
political revolutions as he studied the Bible from 
this viewpoint. He saw, and it was clear to him, 
that political revolution, war and strife of nations 
have their origin within the mesmerism of the 
senses. The strife between individuals has the 
same origin. 

This truth became clear to the Author as he 
studied the Bible from this viewpoint. This caused 
him to investigate nature and the Bible side by 



—239- 



side, and he saw that the thought of the Bible and 
the thought of nature ran in parallel lines. That 
the mind of the senses and the carnal mind of the 
Bible are one and the same. This caused him to 
investigate crime, insanity and disease from the 
viewpoint of sex, and he saw that they had their 
origin within the sex; and he studied the Bible 
from this viewpoint, and the more he studied the 
Bible from this viewpoint, the clearer it became to 
his mind that the sex mind was the "evil" that 
was in Eden that Adam and Eve came into the 
consciousness of when they fell, and that the sex 
mind is the "evil" of the Bible. 

After he came into the consciousness of this 
truth, he saw the truth of the Bible written in 
men and women's faces daily, and within their 
actions and motives. He could see the cause of all 
insanity, crime and disease, and all the ills of the 
race. He thought of the millions who were flock- 
ing to the churches throughout the world every 
Sunday and going away as ignorant as they went, 
as to the truth of the Bible and the cause of the 
insanity, disease, crim^e and sufferings of the 
race. He saw that the Clergy were not touching 
the question of the truth of the Bible, and that 
the people were in ignorance and darkness as to 
the truth of the Bible, in his mind's eye he could 
see all the race like sheep gone astray and without 
a shepherd. This touched his heart deeply. Daily 
as he went about his usual vocation, he could see 
the sick, the blind, the deaf, the lame, the halt, 
the insane and the criminal, and he knew the 
cause of their ills. 

He could see the cause of the suffering and 
sorrow of the race daily written in the faces of 



—240— 



men and women. He knew that they were not 
being taught the truth of the Bible. He knew 
that their sufferings and sorrows were due to 
ignorance of the Truth of the Bible. He knew 
that they were being taught Sunday after Sunday, 
in the churches throughout the world, sex mesmer- 
ism for Christianity, and that the suffering and 
sorrows of the race had followed as the result. 

The Author was conscious of the fact that the 
purity of Christianity as our Lord and his Apostles 
taught it, would relieve the suffering, sorrows, 
diseases and insanity of the race. That Chris- 
tianity in its purity was the remedy for the ills 
of the race. Hence he determined to write the 
*Truth of the Bible" as he conceived it and give 
it to the race as the remedy of the suffering and 
sorrows of the race. When he began to write, 
he only expected to write one book, and that was 
his first edition of "The Truth About the Bible," 
but from day to day and from week to week, and 
month to month, and year to year, the truth of 
the Bible unfolded clearer and clearer into his 
consciousness and understanding; hence, to date, 
he has revised the "Truth About the Bible" three 
times, written the "Sexology of the Bible," and re- 
vised it once, and written "Why Jesus Was a Man 
and Not a Woman." and is now writing this 
book, "The Duality of the Bible." 

Each of these books has expressed the more 
advanced views of the truth as it unfolded into 
the Author's consciousness. Soon after the Author 
wrote the first edition of "The Truth About the 
Bible" he was sitting in a law office with a brother 
lawyer in one of the large cities of this country 
and the courthouse was just a few hundred feet 



-2il— 



from the building in which this law office was 
located. The brother lawyer said to him, "The evi- 
dence^that this book of yours, The Truth About the 
Bible,' is the truth, is demonstrated over there 
daily, pointing toward the courthouse. Go over 
there at any day to the court where they examine 
the insane and you can see the truth of this book. 
There are the young boys and girls just coming 
into manhood and womanhood being investigated 
for feeble mindedness and insanity and sent to the 
home of the feeble minded and to the insane asy- 
lum. There are men in middle life being investi- 
gated for insanity, for the cause shown in this 
book. There are old men and women, nearing 
the grave, whose minds are gone as the result of 
the cause that you show in this book. It never 
occurred to me that the Bible had anything to do 
with this question until I saw this book, but if 
that Bible was taught and understood by the race 
as interpreted in this book, we would soon need 
no courts to investigate the insane, and no homes 
for the feeble minded and no asylums for the in- 
sane. The idea taught in this book as the truth of 
the Bible would remedy this evil. It would relieve 
poor humanity from this suffering and sorrow." 
As I sat there and talked to this man, who was 
a man of fine intelligence and good purposes, and 
saw how the idea of the book impressed him, I 
determined to continue to pursue the work, and 
to give my best efforts to relieve the sufferings 
of humanity from the diseases, crime and insanity 
which afflict the race, by giving the race the truth 
of the Bible as I conceived that Jesus preached 
it, Moses, and the prophets and the apostles wrote 
it; hence, I continued with my work up to date.

Whether I shall continue to write more, I do not 
know. 

My physical body is frail and my nervous sys- 
tem is weak. I have' held mind and body together 
these many years by the law, mind over matter. 
Sometimes I feel like letting go mentally that 
the corporeal man m.ay return to dust, and that 
the spiritual man which is the ego, or the real 
man, may enter beyond the veil and see with 
perfect vision of the spiritual eye. But if I 
never write anything more I relate this state of 
facts that the reader may know whv I wrote these 
books on the Bible and what my purpose was in 
writing them. 

I want those who shall read them as the gen- 
erations com_e and go, to know that my purpose 
was good. That it was a heart bleeding v/ith sor- 
row for suffering humanity that caused these books 
to be written. I saw sin everywhere and its re- 
sults written on the faces of v[\Q:'i\ and women. 
It touched me deeply. I knew that they did not 
know that the Bible contained the remedy for their 
woes. I knew that they had not been taught the 
truth as our Lord preached it. *I knew that they 
had been taught sex mesmerism for Christianity. 
That they had been taught darkness for light, and 
death for life, and hence, all the race was in outer 
darkness, living within the carnal senses in thought 
and consciousness. 

That all the race was "obsessed," and that 
this obsession was the result of the teachings that 
they had been taught sex mesmerism for Chris- 
tianity. And I purposed to write these books as 
the means of teaching the race the truth and as 
the means of breaking the thought of sex mes- 



-243- 



merism which had all the race "obsessed." My 
purpose was to give them the spiritual truth as 
the Christ taught it, so as to "dispossess'' the race, 
that the race might come out from under the cloud 
of the senses in thought into the noonday light 
of truth in thought and consciousness. My pur- 
pose has been to give them the truth as the Christ 
taught it, that the day dawn of the morning of the 
resurrection might shine forth in their conscious- 
ness and that the night of sex mesmerism might 
fade away from their thought and consciousness. 

With the coming of the day dawn of the morn- 
ing of the resurrection within the consciousness of 
the race, the night of sex mesmerism fades away, 
and as the night of sex mesmerism goes out of the 
consciousness of the race, disease, insanity and 
crime will be no more. My purpose has been good. 
I hope those who read this and my other books on 
the Bible, as generations come and go, will judge 
me according to my purpose.

CHAPTER XV. 

Simon, the magician, when Peter reprimanded 
him, realized he was in the "bonds of iniquity,'' and 
was preaching the carnal senses and animal mag- 
netism for spirituality and "repentance." Those 
who are preaching carnality for spirituality must 
surrender up the magnetic forces of the carnal 
senses and die to them spiritually, if they would 
understand the Gospel and the Christ mind and 
become the ministers of the Gospel. The Gospel 
begins where animal magnetism and carnality ends. 

Where carnality and the magnetism of the 
carnal senses end in thought, the Gospel and the 
spiritual ideas of the soui begin in thought. Chris- 
tianity is the overcoming of the forces of the sex 
magnetism, in thought and consciousness. Simon, 
the magician, was in Babylon. He was in Sodom 
and Gomorrah. He was in Ninevah, and he was 
in Egypt. He has been in all ages. The forces 
of the sex brain has been the religion of the race 
since Cain murdered Abel, and will be until carnal- 
ity is overcome. 

Simon, the magician, is in the literature and 
art of the race. He is in the music of the race. 
The thought of the sex brain has controlled the art, 
music and literature of the race. The serpent's 
mind is in the architecture of the race. It was in 
evidence in the architecture of the pagan temples. 
The steeples on the pagan temples represented the 
generative organs of the male, and the doors of 
the pagan temples were patented after the gen- 

—245— 



erative organs of the female. The thought of the 
serpent's mind in the consciousness of the race, has 
come down through the ages. It is in evidence 
through the steeples on our churches today. It is 
within the consciousness of the race. 

Simon, the magician, is everywhere present in 
the thought and consciousness of the race. Within 
a few blocks of where I write is the United States 
Postoffice. I go there daily to get my mail, and 
I see Simon, the magician, in evidence daily be- 
fore me. There the women are continually com- 
ing in streams to get their mail from men. There 
they open their letters and read the thoughts of 
Simon, the magician, from the opposite sex. The 
thought of the carnal senses is within the con- 
sciousness of their souls and they are "bowing 
down" to the lust senses of their gods. 

What takes place there daily is taking place 
throughout the world daily. It is the serpent in 
the thought of the race. The automobile, inven- 
tion is carnality in thought. It is a sex matter. 
Remove the sex thought and it would reduce the 
demand for automobiles. Men have accumulated 
vast fortunes in my lifetime out of the sex thought 
through this invention. Sex is in the music of 
your churches. It is in every artery of commerce. 
It is in the poetry of the race. 

Cain is within the strains of music that stir 
armies on for battle and to death. The thought of 
the carnal senses lead bride and groom to the pagan 
altar, then cause them to murder each other. The 
marriage ceremony, which is called Christian, but 
which, in fact, is pagan, is Satanic in thought. The 
man is required to say "That he leaves all other 
women and forsakes all others to cleave unto this 



—2^6— 



woman and to her alone/' and the bride is required 
to take the same vow. This language translated 
into thought means this, that the woman appeals 
sexually to the man more than any other woman 
and sexually he is willing to give up all other 
women for her, and that the man appeals sexually 
to the woman more than any other man, and that 
she is willing to give up all other men sexually 
for this man; and that they completely sexually 
polarize each other. 

If this be true, then each will kill the other 
before he or she will surrender or give up the other 
sexually. This is the law of the serpent and the 
Satanic mind. The Author personally knows of a 
case where a young dentist was thus infatuated 
with a young woman and she would not marry him; 
another man was her choice. She polarized him sex- 
ually but he did not polarize her. So great was 
her polarization upon him and his infatuation for 
her, that he would rather kill her than see another 
man have her. Hence, one Sunday night, while 
sitting in the parlor with her, when she finally 
declined to surrender the other man and accept 
him, he pulled a revolver from his pocket and blew 
her brains out. This is only one case of many 
around us daily. It illustrates the law of the 
Satanic mind, which is in all nature and controls 
all mating and propagation by the sexes. The 
young should be taught this truth, and that there 
is nothing holy in thought or consciousness that 
can emanate out of the sex mind. 

They should be taught the law of the serpent 
is selfishness and deception, hypocrisy and de- 
struction and death; and that all mating of the 
sexes and propagation here in the flesh is of the 



217— 



Satanic mind, and therefore, carnality is to be re- 
strained as much as possible. They should be 
taught that all that is Holy is of soul and spirit; 
and that the more spiritual they are and the less 
carnal they are. the nearer they approach the 
Kingdom of God and the nearer they become 
Christians; and that when they become Christians 
in fact, they overcome carnality and come into the 
Kingdom of God and "contain" the sex seed, and 
are the children of God. 

This is the truth. This is Christianity as our 
Lord taught it; and this is the Gospel as he 
preached it, and this is the Truth that will destroy 
the power of Simon, the Magician, and abolish 
the mind of the serpent and lust from the con- 
sciousness and thought of the race. This Gospel 
as Jesus preached it and Christianity as he taught 
it will eliminate disease, crime and insanity, and 
make Satan "loose his prisoners whom he has in 
captivity." This Christianity, as the Master taught 
it, will roll back the Red Sea and let the soul go 
out of the lust of carnahty into the land of spiritual 
truth. It will release the soul from captivity in 
the carnal land of Egypt and let it go into the 
land of Canaan, which is the land of spiritual 
truth. It will release the soul from the captivity 
of Babylon and the belief in pleasure of the se:^ 
act, and let it return to Zion and tune the musie 
of harps divine. It will lead the children of Israel 
which is the soul wandering in the wilderness, out 
into the land of spiritual light. 

It will drive out all the senses of the Canaan- 
ites, Philistines and Amorites and the gods of the 
other heathens and will let the soul come into the 
spiritual understanding of God as spirit. It will 



—248 — 



lift the veil of the sense of the sex brain from the 
eyes of the soul, and let the soul behold God as 
spirit, through soul sense and spiritual vision. 
Christianity, as the Christ taught it, is the soul 
overcoming every thought of carnality and desire 
of the carnal senses. 

St. James says, "Blessed is the man that en- 
dure th temptation; for when he is tried he shall 
receive the crown of life which the Lord hath 
promised to them that love him." James 1:12. 
"Temptation," here is sex lust. It is the same 
temptation that deceived Eve. It is the serpent. 
It is the "temptation" that tempted our Lord for 
forty days and forty nights in the wilderness. We 
all have this serpent within us, it is the lust of the 
sex brain, but "blessed is the man that endureth 
temptation." The word translated "endureth" here 
in the original means "to overcome;" that is, blessed 
is the man that overcometh lust, for he shall re- 
ceive the crown of life. Our Lord overcame it 
and was the "life." 

"But every man is tempted when he is drawn 
away, of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust 
has conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin when 
it is finished bringeth forth death." James 1:14-15. 
Lust is Cain, it is the sex brain, and when it con- 
ceives, it bringeth forth sin. Conception is the con- 
ceiving of an idea. An idea, is a concept. Every 
carnal idea is a lustful concept, and has its origin 
within the sex brain. Every soul idea is a spir- 
itual concept, and has its origin in the mind of the 
soul. Spiritual conception is life. Carnal con- 
ception is death. We all are conceived through 
carnal conception; that is, with the lust of the sex 
brain, and hence, must be born of the spirit to see 



—249 — 



God; that is, we must overcome carnality in thought 
and consciousness and be re-conceived by the mind 
of the soul. 

Carnal conception is death. Go ask the pros- 
titute who has sin and death written on her face 
and she will tell you this is true. Go ask the man 
eaten up with syphilis and he will tell you the lust 
of the flesh is death. Go ask the man crippled 
and diseased with gonorrhea rheumatism as he 
limps and halts, and he will tell you "Such as a 
man soweth, he also reaps." Go ask the man blind 
and deaf from spyhilific diseases of his parents, and 
he will tell you that the "Sins of the parents are 
visited upon the children unto the third and fourth 
generations." 

Go ask the man or woman that was born blind 
from his or her mother's womb as the result of the 
gonorrheal or syphilific mother, who contracted the 
disease through the sins of her husband, and the 
offspring will tell you that "The wages of sin is 
death." Go ask the woman who is prostrate in 
the hospital with her private organs cut out as 
the result of sexual diseases and she will tell you 
that the "Way of the transgressor is hard." Finally 
ask the man who has served lust all his life, as he 
lies on his deathbed, and he will tell you "That 
sin, when it hath finished bringeth forth death." 
Sin is lust. Sin produced death and was the origi- 
nal cause of death, and death must be overcome; 
that is, the sex lust of the flesh, for the resurrection 
to take place within the consciousness of your soul 
and my soul, and for you and I to ascend out of the 
"Earth" of this carnal body, in thought and con- 
sciousness into the spiritual presence and "Para- 
dise of God." 



-250- 



The Apostles had a hard time to convince the 
sensual age in which they preached that lust was 
sin and death. The race was deep in sensuality. 
They wrote against lust. They preached against 
it, but they had a hard time in arousing a race 
spiritually dead, from the night of sensuality and 
death. 

Paul wrote against it and preached against it. 
He said, "To be carnal minded was death, but to 
be spiritual minded is life." 

St. James wrote against it. He said, "When 
lust has conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and when 
sin is finished, it bringeth forth death." St. Peter 
wrote against it. He said, "Dearly beloved, I be- 
seech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from 
fleshly lust, which wars against the soul." First 
Peter, 2:11. The saintly Apostle John, wrote against 
it. He said, "Every man that hath this hope in 
him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." First 
John 3:3. 

St. Jude wrote against lust. He said, "But, be- 
loved, remember ye the words which were spoken, 
before of the Apostles, of our Lord, Jesus Christ, 
how that they told you that there should be mock- 
ers in the last time, who should walk after their 
own ungodly lusts. These are they who separate 
themselves, sensual, having not the spirit. But ye, 
beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy 
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves 
in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our 
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Judge 17-21. 

Here the Apostle Jude defines lust as spiritual 
death, and the overcoming of lust, which is the 
quickening of the Holy Spirit, as eternal life. The 
"Anti-Christ" is within the sex brain. It is sex 



—251 — 



lust. This is the "Anti-Christ" that the Apostles 
wrote and preached about. We all have the "Anti- 
Christ" within us. Every man or woman has the 
"Anti-Christ" within him or her at the age of 
puberty. The "Anti-Christ" is the sex senses of 
the generative organs, and the lust senses of the 
brain. "Anti-Christ" is every carnal and lust de- 
sire. It is the serpent's mind. The thought of 
the orgasm of the sex act within the conscious- 
ness of the soul is the essence of the "Anti-Christ." 
And all who overcome lust in thought and desire 
overcome the "Anti-Christ" and become Christ-like. 
They have the gospel. They have the spiritual 
ideas of the divine mind within the consciousness of 
their souls. 

The "Anti-Christ" is destroyed within us all 
through the quickening power of the Holy Spirit. 
Lust, which is the serpent's mind, and the "Anti- 
Christ," murders the soul. It is death. The Holy 
Spirit quickens the soul to life. That is, destroys 
the carnal desires within the consciousness of the 
soul for the lust of the flesh, and this is the over- 
coming of death. The soul goes into Babylon in 
thought and consciousness when the orgasm of 
the sex act takes place. The soul of every man 
and woman has "The image of the beast" written 
within the consciousness of the soul when the 
orgasm of the sex act takes place. The soul 
then goes into hell and death. And this "image 
of the beast," which is written within the con- 
sciousness of the soul when the orgasm of the 
sex act takes place is death. It is the "Anti- 
Christ." "And they worshipped the beast, saying 
who is like unto the beast." Rev. 13:4. The 



"Beast" is the orgasm of the sex act and the race 
is worshipping the beast. 

This "image of the beast" must be removed 
from the consciousness of the soul for the soul to 
come back into the "image of God" and have life 
eternal. This "image of the beast" is removed 
from the consciousness of the soul though the 
quickening power of the Holy Spirit. When the 
soul is quickened and made alive from the death of 
the "image of the beast," and the lust of the flesh 
is overcome, the soul then becomes a Christian. 
When the orgasm of the sex act takes place, the soul 
is in Babylon. This is the city of the devil and 
the city of death. It is the city of night and death 
in thought and consciousness and this, "the image 
of the beast," is written in the consciousness of the 
soul, when the orgasm of the sex act takes place. 
It is removed by the quickening power of the Holy 
Spirit, then the soul leaves the city of Babylon and 
goes into the city of Zion, which is the city of soul 
sense and spiritual ideas in thought. 

The city of Babylon is the city of carnality 
in thought. The soul can reside in this city and be 
spiritually dead by committing the sex act in 
thought. Through lust desires and carnal thoughts 
the soul can remain in Babylon and be spiritually 
dead. For the soul to reside in Zion it must come 
out of Babylon in thought. Every carnal thought 
and desire must be overcome in consciousness for 
the soul to go into Zion and to have a spiritual 
understanding of God. Jesus preached on thiu 
question. He said, "Adulterous generation, how 
can you escape the damnation of hell?" He made 
no exception to' the rule. He said lust was death 



—253- 



and that lust must be overcome for the soul to 
have life. 

He made lust and death synonymous terms. 
It was lust that produced death, and he preached 
the trut>> as the truth. Again he said, "Ye ser- 
pents, ye generations of vipers, how can ye escape 
the damnation of hell?'' Luke 23:23. The Master 
put the truth as it is. He put death where it be- 
longed. He stated the cause of death without 
equivocation. Hell is death, and death is hell. The 
death of the soul is a spiritual death, and this spir- 
itual death is outer darkness. It is night to the 
soul. This state of thought is produced by the lust 
of the flesh. All carnality must be overcome for 
the soul to enter Zion. The "Anti-Christ" must 
be overcome for the Christ to enter the conscious- 
ness of the soul. The city of Babylon must be 
overcome for our souls to enter the city of Zion. 
This thought is contained in the eighteenth chap- 
ter of Revelation. Here in this chapter is the law 
of life and the law of death. In the . eighteenth 
chapter of Revelation, Babylon is "fallen" to all 
the souls that have overcome lust. 

The story of Samson is a story of sex. It is 
the story of the conflict between the sex mind and 
the soul mind. The narrative of Samson is the 
narrative of the sex mind and its cunningness and 
its conflict with the soul mind. Samson's hair was 
symbolic of his sex vigor. He had been a moral 
man and had not wasted his father's substance 
upon the harlot as did the prodigal son. The Phil- 
istines were the carnal senses in thought. They 
were symbolic of the sex mind. And the Philistine 
woman outwitted Samson and destroyed him. Her 
story to him was the intrigue and deception of the 



-254- 



sex mind of the female. 

"And she said unto him, how canst thou say, 
I love thee, when thine heart is not with me?" 
Sixteenth chapter of Judges, 15th verse. Through 
her intrigue and deception she caused him to re- 
veal to her the secrets of his heart and then she 
destroyed him. She had his hair taken from him 
and his eyes put out. She robbed him of the glory 
of his sex vigor and then put his eyes out. He 
was then destroyed and spiritually blind. The 
Samsons are all around us. Their sex vigor is 
gone. They are physical and mental wrecks, and 
they are spiritually blind. They have been de- 
stroyed by the harlots. 

This law holds good as to the. male. The 
young women are all around us who have been 
destroyed through the intrigue and "beast" within 
man. It is the Cain within both sexes, and this 
Cain is causing the sexes to destroy each other. 
Samson, after he was released from the intrigue 
of the woman, let his hair grow again, and although 
blind, he destroyed the Philistines as revenge for 
what he considered his wrongs. This is the law 
of the serpent. It is self destructive, and destroys 
all with which it comes in contact. The story of 
Samson, as recorded in the 15th, 16th, 17th chapters 
of Judges, is a true story of the law of the mind of 
the sex brain and its war with the soul. 

"And after these things I saw another angel 
come down from heaven, having great power, and 
the earth was lightened with his glory. And he 
cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon 
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the 
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul 
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful 



bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of 
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the 
earth have committed fornication with her, and 
the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through 
the abundance of her delicacies. 

"And I heard another voice from Heaven say- 
ing, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not 
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of 
her plagues. For her sins have reached unto 
heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double 
unto her double according to her works; in the cup 
which she hath filled, fill to her double. How 
much she hath glorified herself, and lived de- 
liciously, so . much torment and sorrow give her, 
for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen and am 
no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore 
shall her plagues come in one day, death and 
mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly 
burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who 
judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who 
have committed fornication and lived deliciously 
with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, 
when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 
standing afar off for the fear of her torment, 
saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that 
mighty city; for in one hour is thy judgment come. 
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and 
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchan- 
dise any more. 

"The merchandise of gold, and silver, and pre- 
cious stones, and of pearls and fine linen, and 
purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thine wood, 
and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner 
vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and 



-256- 



iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odours, and 
ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil 
and fine flour and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, 
and horses, and chariots and slaves, and souls of 
men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after 
are departed from thee, and all things which were 
dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou 
shalt find them no more at all. 

"The merchants of these things, which were 
made rich by her, shall stand afar off, for the 
fear of her torment, weeping and wailing and 
saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed 
in fine linen and purple, and scarlet, and decked 
with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For 
in one hour so great riches is come to naught. 
And every shipmaster, and all the company in 
ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea 
stood afar off, and cried when they saw the smoke 
of her burning, saying. What city is like unto this 
great city? And they cast dust on their heads, 
and cried, weeping and wailing, say, Alas, alas, 
that great city, wherein were made rich all that 
had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness, 
for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice 
over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and 
prophets, for God hath avenged you on her, and 
a mighty angel took up a stone like a great mill- 
stone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus v^th 
violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown 
down and shall be found no more at all. And the 
voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and 
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; 
and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall 
be found any more in thee; and the sound of a 
millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 



and the light of a candle shall shine no more at 
all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and 
of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; 
for thy merchants were the great men of the 
earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations de- 
ceived. And in her was found the blood of proph- 
ets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon 
the earth/' Rev. 18 Chap. 

Here we have Babylon "Fallen/' that is, the 
thought of the orgasm of the sex act cast out of 
the consciousness of the soul. "And the merchants 
of the earth shall mourn over her, for no man 
buyeth their merchandise any more." All the com- 
merce of the world revolves around the thought 
of the orgasm of the sex act. All ships of ma- 
terial wealth come into this port. Take this 
thought out of the consciousness of the race and 
commerce will cease and industrial strife would 
end. Money would have no more value. 

Hence, Paul says, "The love of money is the 
root of all evil," that is, money secures what the 
carnal senses desires for their gratification. Re- 
move from the consciousness of the souls of men, 
the thought of the orgasm of the sex act and 
nations will fight no more. The armies of the 
world will be disbanded. The navies of the nations 
will no longer plow the bosom of the seas. Liquor 
and drugs will have no more com_mercial value. 
Courts of contention will cease to exist. Medical 
doctors will retire from business. Industrial strife 
will be a thing of the past. Hatred will fade from 
the heart of man. Greed and avarice will go out 
of consciousness, for they all have their existence, 
and "move and have their being" within the thought 
of the orgasm of the sex act within the conscious- 



ness of the souls of men, and the truth as the an- 
gels declared it at the birth of the Savior will be 
a living reality, within the hearts and souls of the 
race. "And suddenly there was with the angel 
a multitude of the heavenly host praising God 
and saying. Glory to God in the highest, and on 
earth peace good will toward men/^ Luke 2:13-14. 

When Babylon "falls" within the consciousness 
of the race, this passage of Scripture will be real- 
iezd within the consciousness of the souls of the 
race. When the thought of the orgasm of the 
sex act is removed from the consciousness of the 
race, there will be no more strife, no more hatred 
no more grief, and no more death. Universal love 
and life will be the law realized in consciousness. 
In the eighteenth chapter of Revelation we have 
the dress, the odours, and perfum.ery of the fe- 
male and of her daily costume clearly described. 
The odours, the oitments, the fine linen, the pearls, 
and the gold, with which she daily decorates her- 
self in order to arouse the Bab3don within the 
male and to control him, is clearly set out in the 
eighteenth chapter of Revelation. The merchan- 
dise of the stores of the ages, that the female uses 
to decorate herself with in order to control the 
male, are here clearly described. And all come 
unto this law of death, and finally, "The souls 
of men" die. 

Here is the law as described in Genesis, when 
lust and death entered into consciousness. It is 
the law of the female attracting the male sexually, 
and the female being subject to him sexually and 
the male having dominion over her sexually. Re- 
move the thought of the orgasm of the sex act 
from the consciousness of the soul and you abolish 



259- 



this law, and the souls of both male and female 
are set free from the death of the lust of the 
flesh. And that is what is declared in the eigh- 
teenth chapter of Revelation, that shall finally take 
place when the soul is resurrected to life and from 
the death sting of the serpent. 

When the thought of the orgasm of the sex 
act is removed from the consciousness of the race, 
the eighteenth chapter of Revelation will be ful- 
filled. There will be no more "Pipers and harpers 
and musicians and trumpeters in Babylon." This 
is the music that stirs the carnal senses and makes 
men murder, and leads them to strife and to war. 
There is music of the soul and music of the sex 
brain. The music of the soul is of spiritual notes 
and is harmony. The music of Babylon is the 
music of the carnal senses, it is the music that 
fills every ballroom, while females bedecked in 
pearls and gold and adorned in fine silks and 
perfumed with ointments swing to the arms of the 
males and arouses their lust and passions. 

These notes of music which stir the Satan and 
hell within the souls are the "harpers and musi- 
cians, and pipers, and trumpeters of Babylon." 
Remove from the consciousness of the soul, the 
thought of the orgasm of the sex act and they 
will be heard no more. They will be lost in the 
night of eternal silence. In the city of Zion, there 
will not be a note of discord, for there will not be 
a thought of the orgasm of the sex act within the 
consciousness of the souls that inhabit that city 
of spiritual purity. In Zion the senses will not 
exist in thought. The merchants of the earth who 
have brought their merchandise to Babylon, and 
the kings of the earth who have committed forni- 



— 260- 



cations with her, cannot enter the city of Zion with 
their filth and corruption. 

The thought of the orgasm of the sex act 
cannot enter this city, and without this thought 
within the consciousness of the soul there is no 
merchandise, no corruption, no crime, no darkness, 
no disease and no death. Remove the thought of 
the orgasm of the sex act from the consciousness 
of the souls of the race and the race will need no 
more jails, and no more hospitals, for there will be 
no more criminals, and no more sickness. "And in 
her was found the blood of the prophets and of the 
saints and of all that were slain upon the earth." 

The carnal minded world believing in the 
pleasure of the thought within the consciousness 
of the soul, that there is pleasure in the orgasm 
of the sex act, has murdered the prophets and the 
saints through the ages. Every prophet and saint 
who has been murdered since Cain slew Abel; 
that is, since lust murdered the soul, has been 
murdered because that prophet and that saint told 
them that there was no pleasure in the thought 
and consciousness of the orgasm of the sex act. 

A carnal minded and fallen race had rather 
believe the lie of the serpent than the truth of the 
Christ; hence, a carnal minded race has murdered 
the saints in all ages. Man in his fallen state will 
not give up the lie of the serpent. He still believes 
that there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act 
and lives for this lie, and dies as the result. The 
race is eaten up with syphilis, leprosy and diseased 
with gonorrhea, as the result of the lie of the 
serpent that there is pleasure in the thought of 
the orgasm of the sex act. This thought within 
the consciousness of the race has filled the insane 



-261— 



asylums and hospitals in all ages. It has produced 
the blind, dumb, deaf and halt in all ages. It has 
at times almost depopulated the earth. 

These are her "Plagues" which she has visited 
upon the human family. "Therefore shall her 
plagues come in one day, death and mourning and 
famine, and she shall be utterly burned with fire, 
for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her." All 
of the sickness, diseases, sorrow and suffering of 
the race comes out of the lie of the serpent that 
there is pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act, and 
this thought within the consciousness of the race 
shall finally destroy the race. But the saints shall 
have no part in this destruction. Those who have 
overcome the desire and thought of the orgasm of 
the sex act within the consciousness of their souls 
shall have no part in this death and destruction. 
"Rejoice over her thou heaven and ye holy Apostles 
and prophets, for God has avenged you on her." 
Rev. 18-20. 

The saints who shall overcome this lie of the 
serpent shall move on into that Holy City where 
there is "no night," and where the thought of the 
orgasm of the sex act does not exist in conscious- 
ness, and therein they shall tune their harps to 
music divine and to soul sense, and every note shall 
vibrate with the Glory to God. "And there will be 
no more death there," because there will be no 
consciousness of the thought of the orgasm of the 
sex act within the souls in that city. The thought 
of the serpent and the lust of the flesh will be lost 
in consciousness. 

Then we shall be "Like him," and shall "See 
him face to face" with the eye spiritual. The soul 
will be pure and non-carnal. This is the state of 



the Christian, and the redeemed. This is the Chris- 
tianity that Jesus preached and the Apostles taught. 
Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, labored hard to 
bring this idea out clearly to the people dead in 
sensuality. The Apostle of the Gentiles did his 
best to show that there was nothing spiritual be- 
tween the sexes and that marriage was only a 
carnal state for the purpose of regulating the lust 
of the flesh, as man was in a fallen state. That 
marriage and natural propagation is the result of 
the fall and must finally be overcome before the 
soul can be spiritually pure, was his message to the 
Gentiles. 

He taught and the Bible teaches, that the hus- 
band should have only one wife, and the wife 
should have only one husband. This is true, not 
because marriage is holy, but because it is carnal. 
If it were a holy state, the more wives a husband 
had the more holy he would be, and the more hus- 
bands a wife had the more holy she w^ould be, but 
the Bible restricts one husband to one wife and 
one ^vife to one husband, because the marriage 
state is a carnal state. 

^ Jesus taught this truth and so did the Apostles. 
It is a carnal state. Our Lord lived above it and 
the Apostles who had wives, never had any more 
children after they were called to be Apostles; and 
those who were single when they were called to be 
Apostles never married. St. Peter was an old man 
when he was called to be an Apostle and he left his 
wife and children and went forth to preach. He 
did not desert them because he did not want to 
care for them, but he had to leave them and depart 
from their presence and household in order to go 
forth and preach the gospel.

CHAPTER XVI. 

"Remember now thy creator in the days of thy 
youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years 
draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure 
in them." Eccl. 12-1. The "evil days" come to all 
at puberty. It is then that the serpent as the 
"Babbler" begins to talk to the consciousness of the 
soul and to send carnal thoughts and lust desires 
into the consciousness of the soul. These evil 
thoughts and lust desires that come to all the race 
at puberty is the flaming sword that was placed 
at Eden which keeps man from partaking of the 
tree of life and turns all the race out of Eden into 
the thought of the carnal senses to spiritually die. 

This is the "obsession" of all the race. All the 
race is "obsessed" at puberty. When these "evil 
days" come, parents should watch their children. 
They have then reached the age when the serpent 
will destroy them if they are not guarded and pro- 
tected. When these "evil days" come, the young 
girl begins to perfume and to dress herself and to 
decorate herself with pearls, fine linens and oint- 
ments, so as to attract the opposite sex. These 
are her silly and foolish days, and mothers should 
watch their daughters during these evil days of 
silly girlhood. 

During these evil days boys become malicious 
and vain, and they want to show their masculin- 
ity so as to attract the opposite sex. Fathers 
should watch their sons during these "evil days," 
for in these days future manhood is made or de- 

—261— 



stroyed. This law of evil days "obsesses" all of the 
race. It is in nature, everywhere. Go to a baseball 
game, and when some strong, vigorous man makes 
a good play and thereby demonstrates his sex 
forces, some woman will hallow in his honor and 
praise, and all the women will follow in laudation. 
They do not know why. The forces that make 
them applaud the man are in their sex senses. 

A woman with her ovaries removed would not 
applaud. She would not see anything to applaud 
for and it would all seem silly to her. She would 
have the lust senses in the brain, but would not 
have the sex senses that forms the magnetic cur- 
rent of thought in consciousness, so as to make her 
applaud the masculinity of the opposite sex. 

Go to some beauty show where femininity is 
on dress parade, and the men will have their eyes 
on the most beautiful woman from the viewpoint of 
physical perfection. They are "obsessed" by her 
through their sex forces. A Eunoch in the au- 
dience will not be "obsessed" by her. He would see 
nothing within this physical perfect woman to make 
men go insane. He might have the lust senses with- 
in the brain but he would not possess the sex senses 
so as to form the circuit of animal magnetism and 
produce a state of carnal consciousness so as to go 
mad over the woman. This law of "obsession," 
which comes when the "evil days" come, is within 
the sex senses of the generative organs and the lust 
senses of the brain. 

The author has a friend who was standing in a 
newspaper office, talking with the editor a few 
days after the election when Mr. Blaine and Mr. 
Cleveland ran for the presidency of the United 
States. The election was close. It had not been 



— 2G5 



determined who was elected. It was late at night. 
A large crowd stood outside of the newspaper 
office yelling itself hoarse as the returns would 
be announced from time to time. This friend of 
the Author's was a man of intelligence and a 
great thinker, and he said to the editor of the 
paper, "Why don't those men go home to their 
wives and families? Why do they stand there at 
this late hour of the night wasting their energies 
and acting like mad men?" In a few minutes this 
gentleman departed from the editor of the paper 
and the office and went out by the crowd on his 
way home. He stopped for a few minutes with 
the crowd to look at the returns as they were 
announced on the board. He soon found himself 
yelling and whooping to the top of his voice with 
hat in hand and mad like the rest of the audience. 

He came to himself and said, "Why, a few 
minutes ago I was remarking what fools these 
men be,", and he immediately left the audience, 
and as soon as he got out of the audience he quit 
hallowing, and put his hat on his head and went 
home. He said while in the audience that he was 
charged with some kind of mental impulse that 
made him mad like the other men but he didn't 
know the nature of this force. He personally 
related this state of facts to me. The truth is, 
when he stepped in the midst of the audience the 
sex current charged him as it did all the other 
members. Had he been a Eunoch it would not 
have affected him. 

This sex mesmerism is the state of thought 
that all France was in during the French revolu- 
tion. It is the state of thought that all Europe 
is in today while murder and death prevails there. 



—266- 



It is the state of thought that every nation is in 
when it goes to war. It is the "evil days" of the 
race and the "obsession" of the race. 

During the generation in which I live, there 
is a notorious evangelist in the United States. He 
was a baseball player before he was an evangelist. 
He had to be a man of great sex force and sex 
virility to be a baseball player. The same sex 
force that made him a baseball player makes him 
a great evangelist of the senses. At his meetings 
the people will gather by the thousands and the 
sexes will be about equally divided. The minus 
and plus pole, or the negative and positive current 
of the sex current, are about equal at these meet- 
ings. The current soon forms. He does not per- 
mit any talking, coughing nor even a child to cry 
in the audience. If a child begins to cry, he makes 
the mother take it out at once. If a man begins 
to cough, he tells him to put his handkerchief 
over his mouth. He will not permit any disturb- 
ance; he wants the entire thought of the audience 
upon him. 

His experience has taught him that the slight- 
est disturbance in the audience breaks the current 
of the thought, but by demanding their undivided 
attention he can keep the audience thinking in 
unison and as a unit. In this way he commands 
their attention. He is virile and well sexed, and 
with his sex forces he begins to appeal to their 
senses by preaching his senses. The sex thought 
of the senses becomes strong as it grows more 
intense, the audience begins to quiver, women will 
become pale and look white. Their sex senses are 
more sensitive than those of men. They are the 
first to be affected. 



-26V 



As he discourses the women will begin to 
tremble and finally some will begin to squeal, 
others will laugh, and others will hallow, some will 
scream and others will cry. The women being 
the negative of the sex current they begin to at- 
tract the men in thought, and the men then 
become affected. Then confusion begins. Baby- 
lon is in her glory. The night of the carnal senses 
is in the consciousness of all. They want to flee 
somewhere from the darkness and death to light 
and truth. They do not know where to go nor 
what to do. In this stampede of confusion and 
mental and spiritual night of Babylon, "like sheep 
and all gone astray," in spiritual thought, they 
start toward the well sexed evangelist, as he stands 
and appeals to their senses, yelling and screaming 
as they go. 

Their sex senses and the night of Babylon 
have them within the consciousness of carnality. 
They know they are within the night of spiritual 
darkness and are within the midst of evil thoughts, 
but they know not the cause nor the way out. 
How different was the preaching of Jesus! The 
Master said, "While ye have the light, believe in the 
light, that ye may be the children of light." * * * 
John 12-36. The "light" is the spiritual under- 
standing of the law of spirit. It is overcoming 
the senses and carnality in thought and conscious- 
ness. The Master was cool and deliberate in all 
he said. In all of his preaching throughout Galilee 
and Judah, he never appealed to the senses. He 
never appealed to the carnal in thought. He was 
the light, because he lived above the senses and 
the carnal in thought, and with the light of the 
spirit within his own consciousness, he imparted 



—268 — 



that light to the consciousness of his hearers. 

There was no "shouting," hallowing and squeal- 
ing under his preaching. He did not appeal to 
the sex senses of the women so as to make them 
faint. He was calm within his own soul. He un- 
derstood the law of truth, and lived it and had it 
within his own consciousness, and with this light 
of the truth permeating his every thought, he 
commanded the carnal in thought to come out of 
the consciousness of his hearers, and the "devils 
obeyed him," and the souls of men and women 
were cleansed from every carnal desire and lust 
thought. This was the "light" of truth that he 
preached. 

We do not wish to question any man's motive. 
We do not desire to question the good motive of 
the baseball evangelist referred to. We simply 
give this illustration to demonstrate the law of the 
senses. As the "evil days" come upon men and 
women, they realize that some evil force has them 
within its grasp. That is the reason that so many 
young men iu the adolescent period go into the 
ministry. They feel that during these days that 
they are in the grip of an evil force, and they 
want to flee to some source to rid themselves of 
the evil that has them within its grasp. Some 
become street preachers during these evil days. 
The sex force within them and the babbling of the 
sex senses drive them to the streets, where they 
hallow and whoop and yell at the passersby. 

They do not know it is their carnal senses 
within themselves that is causing them to do this. 
It is their own state of carnal consciousness that 
is making them thus yell and scream at the passers- 
by. Remove their testes, and they will be quiet 



-269— 



and serene, and will be seen no more on the street 
corners in a state of mental confusion, yelling at 
the public. As they grow older and overcome 
the carnal in thought, they cease from this fool- 
ishness of the senses. A woman with her ovaries 
removed does not want to become a preacher, poli- 
tician or public speaker. This state of confusion 
IS all within her senses. It is within the sex senses 
of the generative organs and the lust senses of the 
bram. As the truth of this illustration, take the 
nine months following the period of this evnagelist, 
or one of his kind, and you will find that there is a 
greater number of births than the nine months 
preceding his coming. 

When these "evil days" which "obsess'' the race 
shall have been overcome in thought and conscious- 
ness, the night of confusion will fade away in 
thought and the day dawn of the morning of the 
resurrection will be present in the thought and 
consciousness of the race. There will be no more 
materia medical doctors who are supported by 
the sins of the senses. There will be no more 
clergymen preaching the senses for a livelihood. 
There will be no more manufacturing plants manu- 
facturing powder and lead to kill men. There will 
be no more men of war plowing the ocean waiting 
to belch forth death and hell. There will be no 
more opiates and drugs to feed the senses. There 
will be no more ointment and perfumery and fine 
linens, pearls and gold, adorning the senses. All 
of these are of the "evil days" that come at puberty 
and "obsess" the race. 

This "obsession" is mental. It is within the 
mind. The Author knows of a man who became 
very much "obsessed" by a very beautiful woman. 



—270- 



She was almost physical perfection. Her very 
presence aroused all the evil within him. He could 
not keep her out of his mind and thoughts. He 
was married and had a wife. He was much 
stronger physically than his wife. This beautiful 
woman remained in his thought and consciousness 
until he almost destroyed his wife sexually. The 
thought of this beautiful woman would arouse the 
evil within him, then he would use his wife to 
gratify his lust, and while performing the sex 
act with his wife he would have the other woman 
in mind all the time. He admitted this. 

He was committing adultery with the other 
woman in thought while committing the sex act 
with his wife. Jesus had reference to this state 
of thought when he said, "You have heard of old, 
that thou shalt not commit adultery, but I say unto 
you, whosoever looketh upon a woman, to lust after 
her, hath committed adultery already within his 
heart." Sin is within thought. The thought must 
become pure for the soul to become pure. In the 
seventeenth century, there was a sect in England 
that taught physical purity. To belong to this 
sect, you had to abstain from the sex act. Their 
conception of purity was physical. The old people 
who joined this sect were aged, and too old to 
indulge the sex act. They were very cruel in 
thought. They whipped and beat the young peo- 
ple and drove them out of the community that 
they found caressing or making love. If a young 
man or woman went wrong he or she was driven 
out of the community and ostracized and frequently 
almost beaten to death. 

The thought of these old people was cruelty. 
It was hatred. They were mad with nature be- 



—271- 



cause nature had failed them, and they were jeal- 
ous of the young because of their sex vigor. These 
sects of physical purity have existed in all ages. 
They are founded on hatred and jealousy. Physical 
purity is not Christianity. It takes spiritual purity 
to constitute true Christianity. The soul must be 
pure in thought and a virgin in thought to be a 
Christian. And the soul that has overcome and 
is pure in thought and a virgin in thought sym- 
pathizes with every other soixl that is struggling 
to overcome, and pities every poor soul that falls 
and has compassion upon it. The soul that has 
overcome loves the soul that has fallen and would 
sav^ it. That was the state of purity of our our 
Lord. 

The old who have overcome should sympathize 
with and have compassion upon the young who 
have come into the "evil days," and have yet 
to overcome. Solomon speaks of the days when 
"desire shall fail." Eccl. 12:5. This is the sex de- 
sire. The mere fact that this desire has failed 
does not make the soul pure. The soul must over- 
come the desire in thought and consciousness and 
become a spiritual virgin for the soul to be pure 
and to be a child of God. 

If a so-called minister of the Gospel today, 
who has a wife and family, were to do what St. 
Peter did, he would be arrested and put in jail 
for "non-support." St. John and St. Paul were 
not married when they were called to be apostles 
and they remained single. They knew that mar- 
riage and all propagation was through the lust of 
the flesh. St. Paul said, "Unto the pure, all things 
are pure, but unto them that are defiled and un- 
believing, is nothing pure; but even their mind and 



-272- 



conscience is defiled." Purity must first exist in 
thought. If the soul is pure, it is above the carnal 
in thought, and neither "Marries nor is given in 
marriage," and does not propagate. 

Impurity must first exist in thought before it 
is manifested in the body and in act. The soul 
must first be impure in thought before the cor- 
poreal man marries in the flesh. If the soul is 
pure in thought the corporeal man does not marry 
v^ithin the flesh. But if the soul cannot remain 
pure in thought and a virgin spiritually, then the 
corporeal man should marry in the flesh. If the 
soul cannot remain pure in thought the lust of the 
flesh should be gratified in a normal and natural 
v^ay. It should not be gratified in an abnormal 
way and by mental "self abuse." 

St. Paul speaks of this class of sinners. He 
says, "They profess that they know God, but in 
works they deny him, being abominable and dis- 
obedient, and unto every good work reprobate." 
Titus 1-16. The mental "reprobate" is as evil as 
the physical "reprobate." For the "unclean" must 
first exist in thought. St. Paul in first Timothy, 
third chapter, the first to seventh verses, describes 
the duties of a minister. He says, "This is a true 
saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he 
desireth a good work. A bishop then must be 
blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober 
of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to 
teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy 
after filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not 
covetous. One that ruleth well his own house, hav- 
ing his children in subjection with all gravity; 
for if a man know not how to rule his own house, 
how shall he take care of the church of God. Not 



— 273 — 



a novice, lest being lifted up with pride, he fall 
into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he 
must have a good report of them which are with- 
out; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the 
devil." 

St. Paul here was writing to Timothy, and 
advising Timothy what class of men that he, Tim- 
othy, should ordain as elders. The Greek word here 
translated "Bishop,'' means an elder, or the one to 
have spiritual charge over the local church. In 
the early Christian churches they had many elders 
in each local church, and a chief elder who pre- 
sided at the meeting of the local church. This 
was true of the Jewish synagogue. The early 
Christian church was patented after the Jewish 
synagogue in government. These elders whom 
Timothy was going to ordain were married men 
and had wives and children when they became 
Christians, and so did St. Peter, and so did some 
of the other Apostles. 

But some of the Apostles who were not mar- 
ried when they were called to be Apostles, namely, 
St. John and St. Paul, never married. If a man 
is married when he becomes a Christian and enters 
the ministry, he should remain with his wife and 
care for his children, but if he is not married he 
should remain single. If he is not pure enough to 
contain his seed and remain single he is not pure 
enough to be a minister. The elders here whom 
Timothy ordained were already married. There 
is no evidence that they ever begot any children 
after they were ordained elders. None of the 
Apostles ever begot any children after they became 
Apostles. They never became fathers after they 
became Apostles, and no minister of the Gospel 



-2Ti— 



should. He is not a minister of the Gospel unless 
he is pure enough in thought to contain his seed 
and remain single. St. Paul here says that these 
men who Timothy was going to ordain as elders 
should only be the husband of one wife. He means 
thereby that marriage is of the carnal and there- 
fore a man should only have one wife and not 
many, that carnality should be restrained as much 
as possible and therefore a wife should only have 
one husband and a husband only one wife, and 
if they become Christians and ministers while in 
this married state they will cease to beget children, 
and retain their seed. 

St. Paul here couples wine, greed, lust for 
money, pride and insobriety as companions of lust, 
and says an elder should be free from all of these; 
for they are the "devil," that is, they are of the 
thought of the orgasm of the sex act; that the 
lust of the flesh and all of these things go hand in 
hand. They are of the sex brain. The desire for 
them originates out of the sex mind. The Chris- 
tian who is pure enough in thought to live above 
sex lust has overcome all of these things. Hence, 
St. Paul says, an elder should be free from the 
lust of the flesh and above all these things in 
thought. 

St. Paul dealing with this idea of lust says, 
in First Timothy, 2:9-15: "In like manner also 
that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, 
with shamefacedness and sobriety, not with 
broided hair or gold or pearls or costly array; 
(but which becometh women professing godliness) 
with good works. Let the woman learn in silence 
with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman 
to teach nor to usurp authority over the man but 



to be in silence. For Adam was first formed and 
then Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the 
woman being deceived was in the transgression. 
"Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child- 
bearing if they continue in faith and charity and 
holiness with sobriety." 

Here we see that the orgasm of the sex act 
in thought and act was the original sin and the 
"fall.'' That Eve was deceived by lust. Hence, 
the Christian woman should not decorate herself 
with gold, pearls and costly array. These decora- 
tions of her person have their origin within the 
lust of the flesh. The purpose is to attract the 
attention sexually of the opposite sex. She should 
not "braid her hair." 

A woman's sex powers are symbolized through 
the hair of her head. Hair is symbolic of sensual 
thoughts. The well sexed person is a hairy person. 
"Esau" was the "hairy man." He was the symbol 
of sensuality and lust in thought. Jacob, his 
brother, was the symbol of the soul. Jacob was the 
symbol of the spiritual. Esau is the Cain within 
us. Esau is lust. Abel is spirituality. Hair types 
sensuality; hence, the Christian woman should not 
perfume and bedeck her hair so as to arouse the 
lust of the man. Her sex pride is symbolized by 
her dress and her hair. Hence, in the Catholic 
Church, the sisters submit to having their heads 
shaved and hair cut when they become nuns. This 
means that they have given up lust and sensuality 
and surrendered all the pleasures of the senses for 
the spiritual life. As we become Christians, we 
surrender up the thought of the orgasm of the sex 
act with the consciousness of the soul and all the 

—276— 



pleasures of the senses that are connected there- 
with. 

Paul, in First Timothy, 3:8-16, lays down the 
same law for deacons and their wives that he does 
for the ministers. He requires of them that they 
be holy, and non-carnal, and non-sensual. The 
Church of God is Holy. The body of Jesus was 
the symbol of the Church of God, and his body was 
holy because the Christ within him had overcome 
every thought of, and desire for, the orgasm of the 
sex act. He had overcome lust completely in 
thought and consciousness; his body was pure be- 
cause his soul was pure. Hence, he said, "He that 
eateth of my flesh and drinketh of my blood, has 
eternal life." "He shall never die.'^ 

Again he says, "He that followeth me in the 
regeneration of the spirit* shall never die." 

His body was pure because his soul had over- 
come lust. All who follow him in the "regenera- 
tion of spirit," overcome lust and "eat of his body 
and drink of his blood," and "they shall never die." 
The "eating of his body and the drinking of his 
blood," is the following of him in the "regeneration 
of the spirit," and the overcoming of lust within 
the consciousness of the soul. It is the overcoming 
of every thought of and desire for the orgasm of 
the sex act, and all the carnal appetites of the flesh 
connected therewith. 

The purity of the soul is the "eating of his 
flesh and the drinking of his blood.'' At the mar- 
riage in Canna, our Lord turned water into wine. 
Wine is the symbol of blood, and our Lord said, 
"Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of 
heaven." The water that he turned into wine at 
Canna was symbolic of the thought of the occasion. 



—277- 



The wine that he made out of water was symbolic 
of what was within the consciousness of the con- 
tracting parties to the marriage relations on that 
occasion; they had lust within their consciousness, 
and the wine was the symbol of this fact. 

Marriage is the "honorable'^ way to gratify 
the lust of the flesh, but it is of the lust of the 
flesh just the same. St. Paul in writing to the 
church at Corinth deals with the sex question from 
this viewpoint. Corinth was a city deep in sensu- 
ality; and St. Paul did his best to lead the church 
there out of the darkness of sensuality into the true 
life of the non-sensual and the spirituality of Chris- 
tianity. He said, "Now concerning the things 
whereof ye wrote unto me; it is good for a man 
not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid 
fornication, let every man have his own wife and 
let every woman her own husband." First Corin- 
thians, 7:1-2. 

Here, St. Paul places Christianity on a non- 
sensual basis, that is the true Christian has over- 
come the sensual and can retain his seed. This is 
the state of consciousness that the soul must finally 
reach in spiritual understanding, to be holy and a 
child of God. Yet if the soul has not reached that 
degree of understanding and holiness in thought, 
wherein the seed can be retained, then marriage 
is the correct state through which the flesh should 
be gratified. But the soul must finally overcome 
the lust of the flesh, in order to enter into the state 
of holiness. Continuing, the Apostle Paul says, "For 
I would that all men were even as I myself. But 
every man hath his proper gift of God, one after 
this manner and another after that. I say, there- 
fore, to the unmarried, and widows, it is good for 



-278— 



them if they abide even as L But if they cannot 
contain let them marry; for it is better to marry 
than to burn." First Corinthians, 7:7-9. 

St. Paul here sums up the whole question of the 
marriage relation. It is of carnality, but it is the 
natural state through which carnality is to be in- 
dulged. But carnality must finally be overcome 
for the soul to become holy and the son of God. If 
the soul has not reached that degree of spiritual 
perfection wherein the seed can be retained, then 
it is best to marry. But the soul v/ill finally have 
to be purged from this state of carnality that 
causes the soul to marry in the flesh. "It is better 
to marry than to burn.'' That is, if lust is burn- 
ing within your consciousness and thought and 
you cannot retain your seed, then you should 
marry. 

But if you can overcome the "image of the 
beast," and the thought of the orgasm of the sex 
act and purge your soul from carnality and death, 
you should do so and refrain from marrying. All 
must overcome carnality finally, if they would see 
God. Hence, it was a death penalty under the 
Mosaic law to "spill the seed." It was and is, the 
most degrading state of fornication. It was the 
most polluting state of sin. The state of thought 
which caused the* demission of the seed must be 
overcome for the body to be holy. 

Socrates was put to death because of the 
paganism and the sex worship of his age. This 
philosopher was a Christian in thought. They said 
"that he corrupted the youth of Athens." And they 
said of Jesus "that he had a devil." Jesus taught 
that all evil was within the sex. Socrates tried to 
convey the same idea to "the youth of Athens," and 



for this he was put to death. Socrates believed 
in the immortality of the soul, and that there was 
a Spiritual and all wise God, and that this Spiritual 
Creator was non-sensual in thought. The "Sage 
of Athens" was a Christian in thought, and his 
purpose was to elevate the morals of "the youth 
of Athens,'^ but the carnal minded age in which 
he lived had him put to death, for teaching the 
source of evil within human nature. 

The same thought that had Socrates put to 
death had our Lord crucified. This thought within 
the consciousness of the race, that there is pleasure 
in the carnal senses, must be removed from the 
souls of the race through the power of the Holy 
Spirit, before the race will accept the Truth of 
Christianity. God the Father was present in the 
flesh in the mind of Christ, and God the Father 
must be shed abroad in the hearts of the human 
race, through the power of the Holy Spirit, before 
the race will surrender lust and accept Christianity. 

The Godhead is one in substance, and Three in 
manifestation — God the Father, God the Son, God 
the Holy Spirit, is one mind and three manifesta- 
tions of the one mind, and the race must come into 
the consciousness of the Mind of the Father, 
through the Holy Spirit, to accept the Christ mind. 
The Christ came into the flesh aild lived above the 
sex lust of the flesh, and kept the law of holiness, 
that the Holy Spirit might be given to the race, and 
sanctify the souls of men from the lust and death 
of the flesh.

CHAPTER XVIL 

"And the children of Israel did evil in the sight 
of the Lord/' Judges, 3:7. The evil the children of 
Israel did here, in the sight of the Lord, was the 
same evil that Adam and Eve came into the con- 
sciousness of when they yielded to the serpent and 
were driven out of Eden. Evil is sex lust. It is the 
gratification of the carnal senses. Israel means, a 
"Soldier of God" or "I am the light of God." It is 
the soul in the spiritual image of God. It is the 
soul that has overcome carnality in thought. Israel 
as a people, types the soul, and is spiritual life. And 
Israel as a people was continually going into car- 
nality and doing evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
Israel today is doing the same thing. 

The souls of men are today going into carnality 
as of old, and doing evil in the sight of the Lord. 
The children of Israel were told to drive out the 
Canaanites, the Phillistines, the Amorites, the Hit- 
ites, the Perizzites, Hevites, Jubusites, and the 
other pagan peoples of Canaan. These pagan peo- 
ples had their gods of the carnal senses. Their wor- 
ship was sex worship, and the children of Israel had 
to drive them out of the land of Canaan before they 
could inhabit this land. Israel types the soul and 
spiritual worship. Israel is symbolic of the soul 
in communion with God through spiritual sense. 

The soul cannot commune with God through 
the material senses. The soul only communes with 
God through spiritual sense, as it overcomes the 
carnal senses in thought. Israel, therefore, was 

—28 J— 



told to drive out these pagan people. This is sym- 
bolic of the soul driving out from consciousness 
the carnal senses and communing with God through 
spiritual sense. Every man and woman has the 
Canaanites, the Phillistines, the Amorites, the Hit- 
ites, etc., within his or her carnal senses. The Hit- 
ites^ the Amorites, the Canaanites and all the pagan 
senses are located within the generative organs 
and the lust senses of the brain. They are the mind 
of sex worship. They are in all the race, and must 
be driven out of the consciousness for the soul to 
overcome sex worship and the gods of the carnal 
senses, and to worship God as spirit and to com- 
mune with God through spiritual sense. As we 
drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hitites, 
etc., with their carnal senses and lust thoughts, 
from the consciousness of our souls, we are resur- 
rected in thought and consciousness from death, 
and commune with God as spirit through spiritual 
sense.- This is the land of Canaan flowing with 
milk and honey which the soul shall inhabit as it 
overcomes carnality in thought. 

All human love is based on the sex. It is of 
the carnal mind. It is hatred. This is a hard say- 
ing, but it is true. The strongest tie of the sex 
mind is that of the male and female, that is, hus- 
band and wife. If the man really thinks more of 
the woman than any other woman and chooses her 
in preference to all other women, for a wife, be- 
cause she appeals to him more than any other 
woman sexually, he will kill her before he will see 
her leave him and go to another man. This is the 
highest law of selfishness. The same is true as to 
the woman. If the man really appeals to her more 
than any other man, and she desires him in prefer- 



282 



ence to all other men, she will kill him before she 
will see him desert her and go to another woman. 
This is the law of the serpent and is hatred and 
death. 

The next strongest law of the serpent is a 
mother's affection for her child. So intense is 
this carnal affection, that mothers have been known 
to kill their offspring rather than to see them 
taken from them. They love the child for their 
own selfish gratification, and not for the child's 
sake. The brother of the flesh loves the brother 
of the flesh for selfish reasons, because they both 
came out of the same womb and the same loins. 
He does not love the brother for the brother's 
sake, but for his own selfish person, and this law 
is true of all human loves and ties, it is all carnal 
and selfishness. Hence Jesus said, "Unless a man 
hate his father and his mother, his brother and his 
sister, he cannot be my disciple." The word hate 
here, in the original, does not mean malice of the 
human heart, but it means to turn from, that is 
to say, that unless a man turns from the human 
thought and the human selfishness of carnal love 
of fleshly relatives, he cannot be the spiritual dis- 
ciple of Christ. That is to say, mxan must over- 
come the carnal in thought and sex worship in 
consciousness and all the human ties that grow out 
of same, in order to be spiritual. When man has 
overcome the law of these carnal senses, he has 
overcome human selfishness, and has turned from 
the carnal in thought to the spiritual in thought. 

When man has thus turned from the carnal 
in thought to the spiritual in thought, he comes 
into spiritual understanding and a state of broth- 
erly love, and all who have overcome the lust of 



-283— 



the flesh and are the children of God are his 
brethren. Spirituality begins where carnality ends. 
Unselfish spiritual love begins where the selfish 
affection of the senses ends. We are all brethren 
as we overcome the carnal and the law of the 
senses. Human thought and human ties are of the 
selfishness of the carnal senses. Human ties end 
where Christianity begins. Human parents end 
where the fatherhood of God begins in thought and 
consciousness. 

When we shall have overcome the carnal senses 
and the law of human parents in thought, we will 
be the children of God, and all will be brethren, and 
universal love will be the law. All carnal ties are 
of the selfish thought. Marriage and the sex rela- 
tions between husband and wife is the essence of 
this thought. It is the highest , state of sex wor- 
ship. We do not mean to say that the race should 
not marry here in this fallen state. They should 
until carnality is overcome. We are not in favor 
of free love. The thought is offensive to us, and 
non-scriptural and non-Christian. Marriage is the 
highest moral state of the lust of the flesh. But 
it is a carnal state and not spiritual state. It is 
of the lust of the flesh and non-Christian in 
thought. Every man and woman who enter into 
the marriage state thereby admit they are "ob- 
sessed" with each other, and are impure and unholy 
in thought. Yet, the marriage state should be 
preserved. 

They should enter into this state as a means 
of preserving the morals of society. They should 
marry until they overcome the lust of the flesh, 
and a man should only have one wife and a woman 
one husband, and this marriage state should be 



-284- 



for life. If they become divorced neither party to 
the marriage state should remarry during the life 
of the other. The marriage contract is for life. 
This is the Scriptural doctrine. Jesus so taught, 
and it is clearly set forth in the Bible. But the 
fact that the opposite sex get married does not 
make their relation spiritual. It is of the carnal 
just the same, and that which makes them marry 
must finally be overcome in thought and conscious- 
ness for the soul to become pure in the spiritual 
image of the Father. 

A church, or a Christian organization has no 
concern of marriage except to see that its mem- 
bers observe the moral obligation, and that each 
v^oman only has one husband and each husband 
one wife. Marriage should never take place in the 
edifice of a Christian church. The edifice of a 
Christian church is sacred, and should be so re- 
garded. Marriage is not. It is of the lust of the 
flesh. A marriage ceremony should never be per- 
formed by a minister of the Gospel, he has no right 
there. His concern is of the soul, and not with the 
carnal senses. Jesus, during his three years of 
ministry, never went about marrying people, but 
in preaching the Gospel, that they might overcome 
that which makes them marry, that is, the lust of 
the flesh. 

His Apostles never married people. Their mis- 
sion was to preach the Gospel, and to get men and 
women to overcome that which makes them marry, 
and to forsake the carnality of the flesh and to 
come into the light of the Christ. Their mission 
was to save the souls of men and women from 
that which makes them marry, and the souls of 
all human flesh must finally overcome that which 



-28c 



makes them marry to become the children of God. 

Marriage with the orthodox Jew was a domes- 
tic rite and so it was with the early Christians; it 
never became a religious rite in the Christian 
church until after Christianity became adulterated 
with the pagan religion of the Roman Empire. 
When the light of truth went out, the night of error 
came in. When the light of Christianity became 
dim, the night of paganism hung like a pall of 
death over the infant Christian church. Then a 
pagan priesthood made marriage a sacrament of 
the church for the purpose of revenue. Let us 
hope and pray for the dawn of the Christian truth, 
within the consciousness of the race, when mar- 
riage will be again considered in the true light of 
Christianity. When the day dawn of Christianity 
shall again rise within the heart of the race, we 
shall again see marriage considered as a matter 
of the carnal senses and not of the soul. 

That is what Jesus taught, that is what the 
Apostles preached. It is the truth. Let the mar- 
riage state be observed and retained, as the law 
and custom to regulate the carnal state of the 
senses until carnality shall finally be overcome and 
the true marriage shall be realized in thought and 
consciousness when all souls, who shall overcome 
the lust of the flesh, shall be of the "heavenly 
bride," and married to the Christ. This is the only 
Christian marriage. 

Holiness is non-carnality. God is holy, and as 
the soul becomes non-carnal in thought it becomes 
holy; and this holy state of consciousness is the 
seeing of God. It is the realization of God in con- 
sciousness. This is seeing him "face to face." 
When the "Christ shall appear," "We shall be like 



—280 — 



him," that is, we will be non-carnal in thought and 
in a holy state of consciousness; and in this holy 
state of consciousness, we shall see him with holy 
eyes and spiritual vision. All carnal sight is of 
the senses, and unholy. When we shall overcome 
the "beast'' in thought, that is, the consciousness 
of the orgasm of the sex act, we shall be holy, we 
shall have the "image" of Christ. The soul will be 
like him, in thought. 

This thought is spiritual. Holiness is life 
eternal, and unholiness is carnality and death. The 
Apostle Paul brings out this idea in First Corin- 
thians, 7:14, "For the unbelieving husband is sanc- 
tified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is 
sanctified by the husband, else were your children 
unclean, but now are they holy." "To sanctify" is 
to overcome carnality. The Apostle Paul here is 
speaking of the duty of a Christian wife to a non- 
Christian husband. He means that she should 
have such influence over him that he will give 
up carnality and become a Christian; and he 
means that a Christian husband should have 
such influence over a non-Christian wife, that 
she will surrender lust for holiness. And as 
they surrender carnality, and in proportion as 
they become spiritual, in that proportion will the 
offspring be spiritual; that is, the less carnal they 
are the less carnal the offspring will be. In other 
words, the carnal images and lust desires within 
the consciousness of the parents when the child 
is begotten and conceived are bequeathed to the 
offspring. This is hereditary sin. Therefore, there 
should be as little carnality in thought and con- 
sciousness as possible in the minds of the parents 
when the child is being begotten and conceived. 



--287— 



In proportion as parents approach holiness, in 
that proportion will the offspring be holy. But of 
course there is some carnality in all carnal con- 
ception, and "Therefore the child is conceived in sin 
and shaped in iniquity,^' and must be born of the 
spirit, before it can overcome carnality and see 
God face to face. But the less carnal the parents 
are, the less lust and carnality the children will 
have to overcome. St. Paul further says, ''-Now 
concerning virgins, I have no comm.andment of the 
Lord, yet I give my judgment as one that hath 
obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I 
suppose therefore, that this is good for the present 
distress, I say that it is good for a man to so 
be." First Corinthians, 7:25-26. 

The "distress'^ of which St. Paul speaks is 
the "distress'^ of the lust of the flesh, it is within 
us all; so he says, "It is good for a man to be a 
virgin." That is, he who has reached that high 
state of spirituality whereby he has overcome 
the lust of the flesh and can retain his seed, with- 
out marriage, has reached a goodly state. The 
Apostle further says that those who marry "Shall 
have trouble in the flesh." First Corinthians, 7: 
28. He further says, "Nevertheless, he that standeth 
steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but 
hath power over his own will and has so decreed 
in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth 
well." First Corinthians, 7:37. 

Here the Apostle places the whole question 
of marriage and non-marriage on the basis of the 
spiritual state of the soul. If you have reached 
that state of holiness wherein you have overcome 
the lust of the flesh and can retain your seed, then 
you have reached a blessed state and should not 



-288— 



marry. Your soul is now entering Zion and the 
spiritual presence of God. If you have not reached 
this holy state and are still in bondage to the 
lust of the flesh and the "image of the beast" 
is still within the consciousness of your soul, and 
you cannot retain the seed, then you should marry, 
but this state of carnality must be overcome be- 
fore your soul can be holy and enter the presence 
of God. 

The Apostle concludes the whole argument with 
these words, "So then he that giveth h^er in mar- 
riage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in 
m.arriage doeth better." First Corinthians, 7:38. 
In other words, the Apostle says, if you cannot 
contain the seed, marry, but you will finally have 
to overcome it to enter that state of holiness 
which is Godly, but if you have overcome and 
do not have to marry, then you "Doeth better;" 
you are nearer the kingdom of God and the city 
of Zion, "For the grace of God that bringeth sal- 
vation hath appeared to all men, teaching us 
that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we 
should live soberly, righteously and godly, in this 
present world." Titus 2:11-12. 

"Worldly" lust is sex lust; it is the orgasm of 
the sex act in thought, and all the lust of the 
flesh that come therefrom. Whiskey, drugs, strong 
meats, and all carnal dissipations, have their origin 
in the sex lust. To live soberly, righteously and 
godly in this present world, is to live above the 
thought of the orgasm of the sex act within the 
consciousness of the soul. 

When you have conquered this thought in 
the consciousness of the soul, you have conquered 
all the other lusts of the flesh. St. Paul says, 



—289— 



"This know also that in the last days perilous 
times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their 
own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphem- 
ers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 
without natural affection, truth breakers, false ac- 
cusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that 
are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of 
pleasure more than the lovers of God. Having a 
form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof, 
from such turn away.'' 2 Tim. 3:1-5. Here St. Paul 
names the sins of this world, and sums them all up 
as having one original cause; that is, that they all 
originate in the sex brain. 

"Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in 
the^ later times some shall depart from the faith, 
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of 
devils, speaking lies in hyprocrisv, having their 
conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to 
marry and commanding to abstain from meats 
which God hath created to be received with thanks- 
giving of them which believe and know the truth.'' 
First Timothy 4:1-3. Here Apostle Paul is speak- 
ing of hyprocrisy of formality, Christianity does 
not consist of forms and "Rites" but in overcoming 
the carnal in thought and consciousness. The "For- 
bidding" to marry of which St. Paul speaks is the 
result of unnatural carnal desires. He does not 
mean that those who have been holv should abstain 
from marriage. But he is talking about the 
carnal minded who are deep in unnatural lust 
and who gratify their lust in an unnatural way. 
Men ^^'' Who are lovers of men" and women who 
are "lovers of women." These abnormal persons 
desire to gratify their lust with those of their 
own sex. The. Author knows of a case in the 



— 290- 



court records in one of the states of the United 
States where a young woman was very much in- 
fatuated with another woman; they were in love 
with each other. The attraction was an abnormal 
sex attraction. They were infatuated with each 
other sexually. Finally, one of the young women 
decided to get married and gratify her sexual 
desires naturally with the male. The other woman 
became very jealous and killed her. She was tried 
for it in the courts. These facts were developed 
in the court records. 

The Author personally knew of a man who 
was married and had a family, who was a "man 
lover.'^ He was a handsome man and of a good 
family. One night he was caught in his office, 
nude, with other men, who were "men lovers.'' 
There they were indulging the gratification of the 
lust in abnormal ways with each other. They 
were arrested. These two cases that the Author 
recalls to mind illustrates the law of this abnormal 
sex state of mind. It is a perversion of the ser- 
pent's mind. 

Cases of this nature are around us daily. 
They are in society in every generation. They 
existed in St. Paul's day, and he wrote against them. 
They have existed in all ages of the world, since 
the serpent mind entered the consciousness of the 
race. They were in Sodom and Gomorrah and 
Sodom and Gomorrah are with us today. These 
unfortunate people, frequently, are born with this 
perversion. Sometimes they acquire it after being 
born. But as a rule these abnormal desires are 
inherited. A man while having sex relations with 
his wife frequently will have in his mind and his 
consciousness, the image of some handsome young 



-201- 



man; this, of course, is sex perversion; but a 
child is begotten in this state of perverted thought 
and if it is a male, v^hen it develops to sex ma- 
turity it is a "man lover." The Father had the 
image of his own sex in his mind when begetting the 
child. This is the law of "like begetting like." The 
mother may have a perverted state of thought, 
and have in her consciousness and mind the image 
of some woman when the child is conceived, and 
when the child comes, if is a girl, it will be a 
"woman lover." The child has in its consciousness 
what was in the consciousness of the mother at the 
time the child was conceived. This is the law of 
"Like begetting like." Or the mother while car- 
rying the child may carry within her mind the 
mental image of one of her own sex and lust for 
her, and the child when it comes, will probably 
be a "woman lover." if it is a fem.ale. This is the 
law of "like begetting like." 

A father should never have the image of a 
male within his mind when begetting a child, 
neither should the mother have within her mind 
the image of one of her own sex while conceiving 
or carrying a child. All abnormal thoughts and 
images should be kept out of the mind of the 
parents while begetting and conceiving. While 
committing this act they should be as pure in 
thought as possible; nothing abnormal should enter 
their state of thought. The seducing spirit which 
St. Paul speaks of here and the "Doctrines of 
devils," are these abnormal state of thoughts. 
They are the abnormal lust of the flesh. They 
"forbid marrying" because of their depravity. Mar- 
riage is the natural state to indulge lust. These 
abnormal states are of depraved mJnds. St. Paul 



_292 



writes to the church at Rome at length on this 
question; Rome was the center of sensuality and 
of sex perversion in the days of St. Paul. The 
Apostles Peter and Paul, strived long and hard 
to elevate the church there above the carnal, into 
a clear conception of the spiritual. 

The age was so deep in carnality it was hard 
for the Apostles to teach the church at Rome to 
understand clearly the truth of Christianity, and 
that all carnality is of the Satanic and death. St. 
Paul in writing to the church at Rome and speaking 
of these perverted ones says, "Wherefore God also 
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of 
their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies be- 
tween themselves. Who changed the truth of God 
into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature 
more than the Creator, who is blessed forever, 
Amen. 

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile 
affection; for even their women did change the 
natural use into that which is against nature; 
and likewise also the men leaving the natural use 
of the woman, burned in their lust one toward an- 
other; men with men working that which is un- 
seemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense* 
of their error which was meet. 

"And even as they did not like to retain God, 
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a repro- 
bate mind, to do those things which are not con- 
venient; being filled with all unrighteousness, for- 
nication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; 
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, 
whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, 
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient 
to parents, without understanding, covenant break- 



-29;^- 



ers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerci- 
ful, who knowing the judgment of God, that they 
which commit such things are worthy of death, 
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them 
that do them." Romans 1:24-32. 

These perverted states of human thought have 
existed in all ages of man since the fall. This per- 
version is within the mind, and what is within the 
mind is manifested in act. It is a disease of the 
soul. It is sin. This, disease of thought has cursed 
the race in all ages. These diseased people are 
around us daily. They are the class whom Jesus 
"healed." They are the class who were "possessed 
of the devil" in Jesus' day. Our Lord cast out 
of the thought and consciousness all perversion 
of those diseased, with this perverted state of 
thought, and "healed" them. That is, he restored 
them to "right" thinking. He restored the soul 
to the right state of consciousness, and to that 
state of thought wherein it thought pure thoughts. 
This is the Gospel. 

Sex mesmerism is darkness and death. The 
Author now personally recalls a living illustration 
of this law. He knew of a leading physician who 
became polarized sexually by a handsome woman. 
He was completely sexually mesmerized by her. 
He could not break the current. It was within 
his consciousness and his thought. It had him 
within its grasp. She would not marry him, and he 
could not rid himself of the sex mesmerism. He 
closed his office and quit his practice. Retired to a 
room in a hotel and refused to go out of the room. 
For years he remained in this hotel without leaving 
the room. He had his meals sent to him and there he 
sat day after day, for years, thinking of this woman. 



— 29J 



She was in his consciousness day and night. He 
remained in this room for years in this state of 
thought until he expended all of his money, then 
bis friends had to support him. The Author was 
personally a guest within this hotel for many 
weeks and knows these facts to be true. The 
proprietor of the hotel related the facts in detail 
to the Author. This man was sexually mesmerized 
and so is all the race more or less. The race has 
been sexually mesmerized since the serpent was 
manifested in consciousness. 

Individuals become sexually mesmerized and 
slaughter and kill each other. Women become sex- 
ually mesmerized and want to preach and murder 
men. Men become sexually mesmerized and go on 
the street corners and hallow and whoop at the 
passersby as they go by and call themselves min- 
isters of the Gospel. The thought of evil is within 
their own consciousness. 

Nations become sexually mesmerized and go to 
war. The race, as a race, is sexually mesmerized, 
hence the greed, strife and hatred that prevails 
within thought. "These are the nations that set in 
darkness," The Christ overcame all sex mesmerism 
in thought and the race must break this current 
in thought and come into the light of the spirit 
if it would be free. But you cannot force the 
Gospel upon the carnal minded. The gospel is the 
spiritual light of truth, within the consciousness 
of the soul. It is the day, dawn of spiritual light 
which drives the darkness of the night and the 
lust of the flesh out of tne consciousness of the 
soul. 

The Gospel is the spiritual ideas of God within 
the consciousness of the soul, and where the spir- 



^295 — 



itual ideas of God are in thought and conscious- 
ness the lust of the flesh cannot be. But you can- 
not force this Gospel upon people. They must 
be willing to accept it before you can impart it to 
them. It is an individual and personal matter. 
To illustrate the truth of this law. the Author begs 
to relate a case in point. The Author has a per- 
sonal friend who is a physician. He was a widower 
and at about sixty-two years of age, became in- 
fatuated and sexually mesmerized by a handsome 
young woman. She was personally a delightful 
lady and he m.arried her. The old man was trying 
to be young again. In the evil imiaginations of 
his heart he was living his youth over again. 
Personally, he was a most agreeable gentleman, but 
in his old age he had become sexually mesmerized 
by this beautiful young woman and was living a 
lie in thought to himself. He was imagining in 
his own heart he was young, when he knew he 
was not. He and the Author were personal 
friends, and the Author attempted to discuss the 
idea of his Work, ^The Truth About, the Bible," 
and impart to him the idea that all lust, insanity 
and disease of the race had their origin within 
the sex. The physician rebelled at the very sug- 
gestion of the thought. He said, "That is nasty, 
I would not let that book come in my house." The 
physician was not conscious of the fact that it 
was his own state of thought that made him re- 
pudiate the book and rebel against the idea it con- 
tained. 

He was bowing down in the thought and con- 
sciousness to the sex mesmerism of this young 
woman. Her sex forces were his god. Evil pre- 
vailed in his own consciousness and thoughts, 



—296- 



hence, all was unclean to him. The truth as dis- 
closed in the book, condemned his own state of 
consciousness, and hence he fled from the idea, 
and would not even investigate it. This is the law 
of sex mesmerism. As the Author stood and looked 
into his face he thought, the day will come when 
you will realize the truth as contained in the book 
"The Truth About the Bible." I saw him in the 
imagination of my own mind a few years hence, 
when the young wife shall have sapped his vi- 
tality away and he will be an old, decrepit man. 
Brain power will be gone, neck will be sunken 
in the back, he will be drawn in the shoulders and 
stooped physically and faint in thought. As I saw 
the future of his career in my mind's eye I thought, 
the day will come when you will wish that you had 
known and understood the "Truth of the Bible." 
His young wife is a good woman and she was well 
sexed and virile. It would not take her many 
years to send him to a premature grave. This is 
the law of the serpent. I thought as I looked into 
his face, the day will come when you will remember 
what Solomon said, when he said, "Remember 
now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the 
evil days come not nor the years dravs^ nigh when 
thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them." Eccl. 
12:1. 

Those who waste their sex forces soon realize 
what Solomon said that "the years draw nigh when 
they shall have no pleasure in them." We see 
this truth illustrated before us daily. The vital 
forces are within the brain and the generative 
organs. 

These are the nerve centers that control the 
nervous system, and the vitality of the human body. 



--•207— 



Sex indulgence destroys the nerve cells of the brain 
and thereby shatters the nervous system and de- 
stroys both mind and body. 

The law of sex mesmerism is in the solar sys- 
tem. The negative and positive laws control the 
solar system. The same law that brings the sexes 
together sexually holds the planets in their orbits. 
It is a law of attraction which is the law of the neg- 
ative and positive. They move and the solar system 
affects carnal mind. The mind of the sex brain is 
controlled by the solar system. This is the law 
of astrology and of soothsaying and witchcraft. 
The law of astrology, soothsaying and witchcraft 
is the law of thought of the sex brain. Sex mes- 
merism is astrology, soothsaying and witchcraft in 
thought. Every woman realizes this in consciousness 
every twenty-eight days. Her m.onthly sickness 
is controlled by the law of astrology. She may not 
know it but this is the truth. Her moods are the 
moods of the senses of her sex brain, and the 
mind of the sex brain is controlled by the solar 
system. Hence, the solar system shall fade away 
and be no m.ore when the Christ mind is fully real- 
ized in consciousness. When the race shall go out 
of this land of Nod and cease to wander around 
in this land of the carnal senses into which Cain 
and the serpent's mind carried the race, the race 
will cease to marry, and to be given in marriage. 
The solar system will fade away and the stars and 
seas will be "no more," and man who is spiritual 
in mind will awake from. this night of the senses 
into the day dawn of the resurrection, and the 
light of truth in the image of his Father who 
created him. 

This will be the second comins^ of the Christ 



-298 — 



and this coming will be spiritual and within the 
consciousness of the soul. It will be day. Night 
will be no more. It will be light, and darkness 
will be no more. It will be in thought, and car- 
nality will be no more in consciousness. It will be 
spiritual, and lust will be no more. This coming 
will be the unfolding of mind in the consciousness, 
and the senses, matter and sex will be no more in 
thought and consciousness. . 

Jesus said, "If any man come to me and hate 
not his father and mother, and wife and children, 
and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, 
he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth 
not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be 
my disciple." Luke 14:26-27. All human ties of 
blood relation is sex mesmerism. Human affection 
of blood relation is sex mesmerism. Thev are of 
the sex mind and sex brain. They are carnal in 
nature and non-spiritual. They are selfishness, 
and the spirit is non-selfishness. It is love. "God 
is love." And God is spirit. To be a Christian 
means to overcome all these ties of sex mesmerism 
and come into the Christ mind. 

This Christ mind is non-carnal and non-self- 
ishness. The word translated "hate" here means 
to "turn from." For the soul to be a disciple of 
the Christ it must "turn from" all these carnal 
ties of sex mesmerism in thought and consciousness. 
When we overcome these carnal ties of sex mes- 
merism and selfishness, we overcome carnality and 
we become the children of God and are brethren. 
When the race shall have overcom.e the carnal ties 
of sex mesmerism, all the race will be brethren and 
the children of God. 

The prejudice against the negro is of sex 



—290- 



mesmerism. The prejudice against the Jews is of 
sex mesmerism. All race prejudices originate in 
the sex. When the Christ shall have adorned the 
consciousness of the soul the race will come out of 
this night of sex mesmerism in thought, and all the 
race will be the children of God and brethren. 

"The cross" V\^as the emblem of the generative 
organs of the male. That is where it had its 
origin. It was the symbol of cruelty in thought. 
Jesus died on the cross, and this was the emblem 
of the death of the serpent mind. We must all die 
in thought to this mind, to be disciples of the Christ. 
Our cross is the overcoming the serpent's mind. 
This was the Master's cross. He had his night in 
Gethsemane, and his morning of the resurrec- 
tion. We must go through the night of Geth- 
semane and die on the cross that we would rise 
in the morning of the resurrection. We must go 
through the agonies of the senses of carnality, 
which is the night of Gethsemane, and die under 
the serpent's mind, which is the cross, if we would 
rise to the day dawn of the resurrection; and this 
day dawn of the resurrection is the Christ mind 
within the consciousness of our souls. And this 
Christ mind is spiritual and light and non-carnal 
in thought and is life eternal.

CHAPTER XVIII. 

The Gospel is the new ideas of the divine mind; 
and the spiritual ideas of the divine mind is the 
only remedy that will cure the depraved and the 
diseased. Drugs and medicine will not do it. De- 
pravity is in thought. It is in mentality. The 
Holy Spirit removes the perversions of the flesh 
and restores the soul to the "image of God" and 
the soul thus restored to this Holy state is "healed." 
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanliness 
through the lusts of their own hearts, to dis- 
honor their own bodies between them.selves." This 
is going on around us daily. It v/as practiced in 
the days of sensual Rome. It was a custom of 
Sodom and Gomorrah. This perversion has cursed 
the race in all ages. It is the lowest form of 
degradation. 

It exists in mind and thought before it is 
committed in, act and the result manifested upon 
the body. The sensual woman who meditates upon 
the flesh instead of the soul can be seen in fash- 
ionable society with "her dogs," well perfumed, as 
her companions. She is "evil" at heart and 
"wicked" in her "imaginations." She is dishonor- 
ing her own body in thought, if not in act. She 
has Satan perverted within her consciousness. 
Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy to dogs." 
The pure in heart do not have thoughts of the 
dog as a carnal companion within their conscious- 
ness. 

Only the perverted in thought and conscious- 

—301 — 



ness desire the dog as a sex companion. "And 
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use 
of the woman, burned in their lust one toward 
another; men with men working that which is un- 
seemly, and receiving in themselves that recom- 
pense of their error which was meet." These are 
they who "forbid" marriage. Not because they are 
spiritual and have overcome carnality; but be- 
cause they are perverted carnally. They object to 
marriage because of its natural state of the flesh. 
They desire the unnatural things of the flesh, be- 
cause they are diseased in thought and perverted 
in their imaginations. The Apostle Paul enumer- 
ates and names all of the evil of the flesh which 
flow from this "perverted" state of mind, and dis- 
eased imagination, and they are the sins which 
curse the race. The mission of Christianity is to 
save the race from the lust of the flesh and the 
perversions of the lust of the flesh. 

The Christ mind within the consciousness of 
the soul, casts out this diseased state of thought 
and "heals" the diseased soul. This state of purity, 
after the soul is healed spiritually, heals the mind 
and body. Jesus healed body, mind and soul, by 
casting out of the consciousness of the souls of 
men all lust perversions and lust thoughts. To sum 
up the substance of the Apostle Paul's writings on 
this question (and he wrote more extensively than 
any of the other Apostles on it), can be said in a 
few words. The sum total of the Apostle's argu- 
ment is that all lust is spiritual death, but if you 
cannot contain the seed, you should marry. There 
should be no perversion of the serpent's mind. But 
all lust must finally be overcome for the soul to be 
saved. Lust was the origin of death and therefore 



— 302 — 



lust, which is death, must be overcome before the 
soul can have life. The Apostle Paul is in accord 
on this question with all the other inspired writers 
and with the Master himself. 

"Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any 
man hear my voice and open the door, I will come 
in to him, and will sup with him and he with me. To 
him that overcometh, will grant to sit with me 
in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set 
down with my father in his throne.'' Rev. 3:20-21. 
The master overcame the sex lust of the flesh. "He 
was God within the flesh'' because he overcame the 
lust of the flesh. He was "in the world," but not 
"of the world," that is, he was in the flesh without 
being of the flesh. The desire for the orgasm of the 
sex act did not enter the consciousness of his being. 
The thought and consciousness of the orgasm of the 
sex act never entered the consciousness of his soul. 
The lie of the orgasm of the sex act within the con- 
sciousness of the soul is the essence of death. He 
overcame this lie of the serpent's mind and over- 
came death; hence, He was the "Sinless son of God" 
and "The light." 

If we would be the sons of God, we must over- 
come this lie of the serpent in thought and con- 
sciousness as did the Master. He "Stands at the 
door and knocks," if any man will hear his voice, 
he will open the door of spiritual understanding so 
that the soul may roll back the carnal senses in 
thought from the consciousness of the soul and 
commune with God, and have life eternal. There 
is no communion with the Father except, as we 
overcome the lust of the flesh in thought and con- 
sciousness. The serpent's mind which causes them 
to marry and to give in marriage here in the flesh, 



-303— 



must be overcome before the soul can be the bride 
at the "Heavenly marriage." 

As we overcome the lust of the flesh, we over- 
come death, and partake of life, and become the 
bride of the "heavenly'' marriage. Vv^hen lust shall 
have been completely overcome in thought and 
consciousness, we shall overcome death and have 
eternal life. This is the "Church triumphant." 
While we are battling and warring against the lust 
of the flesh here in this fallen state, and fighting 
the serpent's mind that we may come into the 
Christ mind, we are of the "Church militant." 

Jesus said, "Get thee behind me, Satan, thou 
art an offense to me." Satan here is the orgasm 
of the sex act in thought and consciousness. The 
orgasm of the sex act in thought and consciousness 
is the supreme essense of the Satanic mind. Our 
Lord banished this thought from his conscious- 
ness. He was so pure in thought he said that this 
thought was an "offense to him." As we become 
pure in thought the filth of the lust of the flesh 
becomes an "offense to us." The carnal must 
become "offensive" to us before we can love the 
spirit. Our Lord said to Peter, "Lovest thou me?" 
Peter said, "Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love 
thee." The Master had overcome the Satanic mind 
and the lust of the flesh was offensive to him. 
For Peter to love the Master all that is carnal 
had to be offensive to Peter. Peter was honest 
in his reply. He had reached that degree of spir- 
itual understanding wherein the lust of the flesh 
was an offense to him; hence, he could say, "Yea, 
Lord, thou knowest I love thee." When we shall 
have become so pure in heart that the thought of 
the orgasm of the sex act shall be an "offense" 



—301— 



to our souls, then we can say with Peter, "Yea 
Lord, thou knowest that we love thee." Then we 
are Christians. And we are not Christians until 
we have reached that degree of spiritual purity and 
spiritual understanding. 

There are two kinds of passions. There is a 
passion of the soul and the passion of the sex brain. 
There is the spiritual passion, and there is the 
passion of the lust of the flesh. The essence of 
the passion of the lust of the flesh is the orgasm 
of the sex act. All other passion of the flesh 
originates in the essence of this thought. Our 
Lord's passion on Calvary was a spiritual passion. 
The passion of the lust of the flesh and soul pas- 
sion are opposite in their natures. Lust passion is 
death and soul passion is life. He yielded up 
death on Calvary and triumphed over death. His 
passion on Calvary was spiritual and of soul. For 
our souls to partake of his passion, we must over- 
come the passion of the serpent's mind. We must 
overcome death which is the serpent's mind, to 
obtain life. When David said, "Oh Lord, deliver 
me from mine enemies," he was not speaking of 
a foreign people or a foreign population; he was 
speaking of the sex senses of his sex brain and the 
lust senses of the brain. 

They were his "enemies," and they are the 
enemies of the human race. They are the enemies 
of the soul. David had jdelded to his enemies and 
had been in outer darkness spiritually. The race 
has yielded to its enemies and the race is spiritually 
dead. The race has yielded to its enemies in all 
ages since the serpent entered into consciousness, 
and the race has been spiritually dead in all ages. 
The enemies of David are our enemies. They are 



— ^80.1 



the enemies of the soul, and the passion of the flesh 
and the thoughts of the sex brain must be over- 
come, if we would partake of the passion of the 
soul. 

It was the "enemies of David" that caused the 
sensual minded wom.an to have a ruler to put John 
the Baptist to death, because John the Baptist's 
preaching reprimanded her and rebuked her sens- 
uality, and condemned the man who was her co- 
indulger in vice. It was the "enemies of David" 
that caused Ananias and his wife to lie for money 
in the meeting of the Saints of Jerusalem. This 
lie which was produced by the "enemies of David" 
caused their death. It was the love of money that 
caused them to lie, and this thought is within the 
sex brain where the "enemies of David" are lo- 
cated. 

"The enemies of David" cause men to kill 
women and women to kill men through jealousy. 
"The enemies of David" produce murder daily. 
The crimes of the race are located within the 
"Enemies of David." They deceive the race. The 
Satanic mind is located within the thoughts of the 
sex brain and these thoughts are the "Enemies of 
David." They will cause the man and woman to 
indulge sexually, until the stronger destroys the 
weaker and the weaker then murders the stronger 
as revenge. 

The Author recalls personally, a case where 
the man was the stronger and the woman the 
weaker. She broke down. She had an eternal 
vengeance against him, in her mind. He had to 
sleep as it were, "with one eye open," for he was 
afraid that she would murder him. at any hour 
of the night. The Author recalls another case 



—306— 



where the woman broke down. She was beautiful. 
At the "change of life" she lost her mind. The 
husband placed her in the insane asylum. She had 
an innate consciousness that he was the cause of 
her condition. She would look at him with staring 
eyes and say, "I hope you are satisfied, you caused 
it." This insane woman was conscious deep down 
in her soul that the "enemies of David" were the 
cause of her being insane; that she was a victim 
of lust, was written within the consciousness of 
her soul. She is one of the millions that the 
"Enemies of David" have seduced and destroved 
during the ages. It was the "enemies of David" 
that caused Ham to outrage his father, Noah, while 
his father slept, and the descendants of Ham were 
"cursed" as the result of the sin of the "enemies 
of David." Ham became the father of Canaan. 
The Canaanites were a sensual people. They typed 
the carnal senses. Noah said, "Cursed be Canaan, 
a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." 
This is the beginning of the negro race. 

The negro as a race is better sexed and more 
sensual than the other races. As a race negroes 
are in bondage to sensuality. This is the "cursed" 
and Noah said, "God shall enlarge Japheth and he 
shall dwell in the tents of Shem." The other races 
can dwell in each other's "Tents;" that is, each 
other's beds; they may marry and mtermarry and 
amalgamate, but the negro as a race will not amal- 
gamate with the other races. He will amalgamate 
with another race, so far and no farther. To a 
certain degree his blood will co-mingle with that 
of the other races, and then the limitation is 
reached. The law of the "curse" is there. The 
serpent's curse is there. 



-307 — 



The negro personally emits an odor that is 
offensive to the white man. This odor has its 
origin within the sex. And I am told by intelli- 
gent negroes that the white man emits an odor 
that is personally offensive to the negro. This 
is a sex odor. 

The races cross at this point. The difference 
between the race is one of sex. The question 
between the negro and the other races is a sex 
question. It is written in nature as the result of 
the law of the serpent, and you cannot change 
nature. In the United States of America there 
are two million and eight hundred thousand mu- 
latto negroes. White men are the fathers of these 
mulattoes. The reason is this: the negro woman 
is better sexed than the white woman, and the 
sensual minded white man therefore desires a 
negro woman. She gives him better sex satisfac- 
tion. This law of the serpent has caused the white 
man of America to degrade his own race and to 
pollute and to destroy the morals of the negro 
race. The white man instead of Christianizing 
the negro race in America, has polluted the negro 
race. 

The sensual minded white woman will accept 
a negro man sexually for the same reason. He is 
better sexed than the white man. The races had 
as well look at this question as it is. The Bible 
is true and the race question is written in nature. 
The only solution of the race question is Chris- 
tianity, and I mean by Christianity, the overcom- 
ing of sensuality. When the negro as a race has 
developed from the sensual into the spiritual, he 
will command the respect of all races. His "ostra- 
cism" as a race is of the mind of the serpent. He 



^08- 



should know this as a race and realize it. And 
as a race he should seek spiritual freedom. He 
should make every effort to elevate himself 
from the carnal into higher thought and spiritu- 
ality. The v^hite man should aid him and help 
him to work out his problem from this viewpoint. 
The Christ mind which is non-sensuality, is the 
only solution of the race problem. May the negro, 
as a race, realize this truth, and walk therein until 
he has freed himself from the sensual and elevated 
himself to the same plane of thought as the other 
races of the earth. 

The Bible is a book of dual thought from Gene- 
sis to Revelation. It is the purest book ever writ- 
ten, and it is the most obscene book ever written. 
It would not be true, unless it was the purest book 
ever written and the most obscene book ever writ- 
ten. It describes the purity of the soul when freed 
from the bondage of the sensual. It narrates the 
state of thought in the consciousness of the soul 
when man was wholly spiritual. It describes man 
before the fall when he was in the '^image of God.^^ 
It likewise relates the carnal nature that produced 
the fall. The Bible is a book of soul and of car- 
nality. It is a book of soul thought and of the 
thought of the sex brain. It is a book of the spir- 
itual senses and of the carnal senses. It is a book 
of life and a book of darkness. It is a book of life 
and a book of death. It is a book of matter and a 
book of spirit. It is a holy book and an obscene 
book. It is the book of redemption and the book of 
degradation. It is the book of souls who shall 
finally overcome sensuality and re-enter Paradise 
and be within the "image" of the Father. It is the 
book of the souls who bow down to the "Beast" 



—309- 



and shall pass out in this state of carnal darkness 
and death. All through the Bible, it is the "Right- 
eous" and "Unrighteous." It is the "corrupt" and 
the "incorrupt." It is the "holy" and the "unholy." 
It is the spiritual and the material. It is light 
and darkness. It is life and death. It is "Heaven" 
and "Hell." And these are states of thought. 

The "righteous" are those who have overcome 
carnality. They are holy in thought. They have 
been "resurrected." They have "overcome the 
beast." The thought of the orgasm of the sex act 
is an offense to them. Their very thought is 
spiritual. The "unrighteous" are the carnal minded 
in thought and consciousness. They are "bowing 
down" to the "Beast," which is the sex lust of the 
flesh. The orgasm of the sex act in thought is 
their God. This is Baal. It is gods of the heathen. 
It is idolatry. The Holy are those who have over- 
come every thought of Baal. The thought of the 
orgasm of the sex act is an "offense" to them, as 
it was to their Lord and Master when he was 
here within the flesh. The holy have overcome 
the carnal senses in thought. They are pure. 

They are "undefiled." They are the "redeemed" 
from the "earth." They have overcome the cor- 
ruption of the lust of the flesh. To them all 
things have been "made new." They have been 
"sanctified." They follow the "Lam.b wheresoever 
he goeth." They have the same mind of the Christ. 
They have "accepted the Christ as their personal 
Savior;" that is, they have surrendered up the lust 
of the flesh in thought and have become like him. 
He was the "Word of God," because he was non- 
carnal and had the mind of the Father. 

You and I, dear reader, erect the true altar 



—310— 



within the consciousness of our own souls as we 
overcome the belief in the pleasure of the orgasm 
of the sex act. As the spirit lights up the con- 
sciousness of our souls and we overcome the lie 
of the serpent that there is pleasure in indulging 
the carnal senses, the true altar is erected within 
our souls. As the Cherubims over the altar, which 
are the spiritual ideas of the divine mind, flow 
into the consciousness of our souls, the Cherubims 
at the gate of the Garden of Eden, which are the 
carnal ideas of the sex brain, are banished from 
the consciousness of our souls and we become the 
sons of God. 

Mr. Henry Polk Lowenstein, of the Kansas 
City Bar, expressed this spiritual idea in his ad- 
dress at the first anniversary held in Kansas City, 
Missouri, in 1914, on my book, "The Truth About 
the Bible." He said, in concluding his address, 
"What is man, whence cometh he, whither goeth 
he, and what is his destiny? I know not; but this 
I know, that somewhere, above the clouds, away 
beyond the stars in the limitless realms of eternal 
love, at the throne of God, man stands revealed in 
the likeness of his Father, and this likeness is the 
Christ, and this Christ is Life, and Life is God, and 
God is All." 

Mr. Lowenstein here expressed the idea of 
man as spiritual; the spiritual image of his spir- 
itual father. All who erect the true altar within 
the consciousness of their souls shall be within the 
spiritual "image" of their spiritual father. 

Carnality knows no love. The mind of the 
gerpent is hatred. If a man love a woman, he 
would not pollute her body. If a woman loved a 
man, she would not destroy him and defile him. 



■:311- 



The sexes are conscious of this truth; hence they 
frequently kill each other after they have polluted 
and defiled each other. Their souls are conscious 
that the lust of each defiles the other. Paul 
preached this doctrine and if sacred history and 
sacred tradition can be believed, it created much 
disturbance. St. Thecla, was a beautiful young 
woman. She was engaged to be m.arried to a man 
of her day. She sat in the window of her house 
and heard the Apostle Paul preach in the adjoin- 
ing house and heard him say, "Blessed are they 
who observe the instructions of Jesus Christ, for 
they shall dwell in eternal light. Blessed are they 
who for the love of Christ abandon the glories 
of the world, for they shall judge angels and be 
placed at the right hand of Christ, and shall not 
suffer the bitterness of the last judgment. Blessed 
are the bodies and souls of virgins: for they are 
acceptable to God, and shall not lose the reward 
of their virginity; for the word of their (Heavenly) 
Father shall prove effectual to their salvation in 
the day of his Son and they shall enjoy rest for 
evermore." Apocryphal, New Testament. 

She retained her virginity, but the man to 
whom she was "betrothed'' had Paul arrested and 
arraigned before the court. The charge made 
against St. Paul was that he was breaking up mar- 
riage engagements, homes, and husbands and wives. 
The same charge would be made against any man 
who would preach the Gospel today openly as St. 
Paul did. If the Gospel were preached today as 
St. Paul preached it, so as the women could under- 
stand it and know what the Bible means, many 
women would become virgins and men who lust for 



-312 — 



their bodies would kill the men who preach the 
Gospel. 

So, dear reader, you can only give the gospel 
to those who are willing to accept it. Only those 
who are willing to give up the lust of the flesh are 
ready for the gospel. 

I have written this book amid confusion. I 
have not had the money to employ a stenographer. 
A friend was good enough to let me dictate it to 
his stenographer in his office. People were going 
and coming and telephones ringing all around me 
as I dictated this book. I have not the money to 
have it printed. If it is printed at all it will have 
to be printed by friends. I have a friend who 
says he will have it printed. I hope he will. In 
one hour's time, while I was dictating this book, 
there has been money enough spent in Kansas City 
on lust to have had this book printed and placed in 
general circulation. There is enough money spent 
every twenty-four hours on lust and sensuality in 
Kansas City to print and circulate this book 
throughout the world and to all the race. The sex 
mind has millions to expend upon its gratification 
and the lust of the flesh, but man has no money 
to expend for the Gospel as Jesus preached it. I 
hope those who come after me and who accept the 
truth as Jesus preached it, will see that this book 
is circulated and given to the race. As I think of 
the millions in darkness it makes my heart weep. 
They sit in the night of darkness and know not 
the way to the light of day. The serpent has closed 
the spiritual eyes of their souls and they cannot see 
the truth. 

As I think of the millions who go into their 
churches throughout the world Sunday after Sun- 



—313— 



day, where their senses are fed and their souls 
starved, and go away as ignorant as they came 
as to what constitutes sin, and as to what the 
truth of the Bible is, my soul weeps. Like Jere- 
miah of old, my tears flow. The more the senses 
of the race are preached to, the more jails, insane 
asylums and hospitals the race will need, for sin 
abounds. 

"Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while 
is the light with you. Walk while ye have the 
light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that 
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye 
may be the children of light. These things spake 
Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from 
them." John 12:35-36. The race walks in dark- 
ness. The carnal senses of the sex brain have 
closed the spiritual eyes of the sou! in all the race. 
The race is wandering in the land of Nod, which 
is a land of the carnal senses, .where the Cain mind 
has carried the race in thought and consciousness. 
Let us hope that the race will see the light as it 
was in Christ Jesus, and preached by him and his 
Apostles, and walk therein until the last lust 
thought and idea of the serpent's mind shall fade 
away from the consciousness of the. souls of the 
race, and that all men may awake to the day dawn 
of this spiritual truth, which is the day dawn of 
the resurrection, and may see him face to face 
with the eyes of spiritual purity. 

This day dawn of spiritual truth, within the 
consciousness of the souls of man, is his second 
coming, and all who have overcome shall shout 
with joy, "Glory to God on high." 

The "Holy" have overcome the mind of the 



— 31i— 



flesh, and have come into the consciousness of the 
mind of the Christ. This is the "personal accepta- 
tion" of the Savior as your "personal Savior." It 
is the soul through the guiding power of the Holy 
Spirit, overcoming carnality and coming into its 
holy state of thought, where the soul discerns God 
as spiritual through spiritual sense. The "Unholy" 
are those who are yielding to the carnal thoughts. 
They have no spiritual discernment. They are not 
conscious of God as spirit. They are "Defiled" in 
thought. They are of the "earth" and "earthy;" 
that is, they still have the desire for the orgasm of 
the sex act within the consciousness of their souls. 
They are the "earth bound." They are the "devils" 
that inhabit the land of spirit. They are "pos- 
sessed" with devils, that is, evil thoughts. 

All ties here are of the serpent's mind and 
the sex brain. The law of human relation is the 
law of selfishness. The human mind does not love 
its own to any degree beyond the third generation. 
The human tie is so selfish that it seldom extends 
beyond the third generation. These human ties are 
idolatry, hence, Jesus said, "Who is my mother, 
my brother and my sister? He that doeth the 
will of my Father who is in Heaven." He repu- 
diates all human relations, because it is of the sex 
brain. It is of the serpent's mind. The race is 
still out in the land of Nod, where Cain went to 
get a wife and is wandering around in this land of 
the carnal senses worshipping its human offspring 
and human relations as idols. The Eves are still 
bringing forth their Cains through lust and saying 
"They are of the Lord," and the Adams are still 
begetting their "Seths" in their "images." Some 
are drunkards, and some are murderers; and the 



—315 — 



Cain mind is still begetting sons and naming them 
cities — states of thought. But when the carnal 
shall have been overcome and banished from con- 
sciousness, there will be no human ties and selfish 
relations; and the idols of the senses and of human 
thought and the sex brain will be no more. 

When carnality shall have been overcome com- 
pletely, within the consciousness of the soul, we 
shall all be the children of God, and brethren. In 
spirit life where only the pure in heart are, we will 
all be brethren and the children of God. The "un- 
defiled" in that pure state of thought will have no 
idols and selfish ties. This law of spirit and this 
law of carnality is the language of the Bible. It 
is the language of all thought. The proper names 
of the Bible have either a spiritual or a carnal 
meaning. They all have their origin in the thought 
of a soul or in the thought of the sex brain — the 
serpent's mind. Noah means "rest." It is the 
spiritual state of the soul. "Noah found grace 
with God." The Sabbath means the "Day of rest." 
It was that age of consciousness when God made 
man in his own spiritual image, and man retained 
that spiritual image until the serpent's mind en- 
tered into thought and consciousness, then man 
lost the "Sabbath," and entered into carnality in 
thought. The Sabbath is symbolic of the spiritual 
rest of the soul, freed from and delivered from 
carnality in thought. It is the day of eternal life. 
When our Lord came forth from the Grave, he 
banished the thought of the serpent from the 
consciousness of the souls and restored the soul to 
the spiritual image of the Father. This is the 
resurrection and life eternal. 

The Christ was resurrected on the "first day 



—316— 



of the week," and the "day of rest," that is, Sun- 
day, or the Sabbath, was changed to that day, be- 
cause it was the day when our Lord came out of 
the grave and resurrected the soul from the carnal 
image of the serpent and death, to the spiritual 
image of God and life eternal. The Sabbath is the 
spiritual image of God within the soul. Our Lord 
had this image within his consciousness during 
the three years of his ministry, hence, he said, "The 
Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath," and 
"Healed them" on that day. The soul in the spir- 
itual image of God does not believe in, nor desire, 
the thought within the consciousness of the soul 
of the orgasm of the sex act, therefore, that soul 
is not subject to the law of the carnal senses and 
death. It does not believe in the pleasure of the 
senses, and therefore cannot be subject to the pain 
of the senses. 

. The resurrection is the overcoming of the ser- 
pent's mind, in thought and consciousness. When 
the soul overcomes the serpent's mind in thought 
and consciousness, it has overcome death. There 
was no death until the serpent's mind was mani- 
fested in consciousness. Sex lust was the original 
cause of death. The overcoming of sex lust is the 
Gospel, the resurrection, and life. The resurrection 
means, "The restoration to life," and death is not 
overcame and life is not restored until lust is 
overcome in thought and consciousness. 

Adam was sexually mesmerised when he said, 
"This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh," 
and Eve was sexually mesmerised when she be- 
lieved the lie of the serpent, that the fruit of the 
tree of lust was good, and this mutual sex mes- 
merism of the sexes produced death. All the race 



—sir— 



has been sexually mesmerised ever since sex lust 
entered into thought and consciousness. The over- 
coming of this sex mesmerism in thought and con- 
sciousness is the overcoming of death, and is the 
resurrection. 

When the race shall have overcome this sex 
mesmerism in thought and consciousness, it will 
neither marry nor be given in marriage, and will 
^yie no more.'' Solomon expressed the idea when 
he said, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter; fear God and keep his commandments; for 
this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring 
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, 
whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Eccl. 
12:13-14. The Commandments of God are spiritual 
in their nature. Those who keep the command- 
ments of God, go in thought from the carnal senses 
into soul sense. Those who keep the command- 
ments of God have overcome the sex lust of the 
flesh in consciousness and thought. Their works 
are good. Those who do not keep the command- 
ments of God are still under the influence of sex 
mesmerism in thought and consciousness, and they 
worship "evil." 

Their ideas and thoughts are carnal and lust- 
ful. They are still under the law of death. They 
are spiritually blind and in outer darkness in 
thought. Jesus said to his disciples, "I have meat 
to eat, that you know not of." His meat was the 
spiritual food of the soul. It was non-carnality in 
thought. He had overcome every thought of the 
serpent's mind, in consciousness. His thoughts 
were holy, and his desires were pure. His ideas 
were spiritual. He was God in the flesh. He was 
the manifestation of the ideas of the Father's mind 



—318-^ 



within the flesh. His disciples had not overcome 
the lust of the flesh sufficiently to understand him 
completely. They were approaching the truth in 
thought and consciousness, but they had not re- 
alized it completely in consciousness. 

Day by day, as we walk in the footsteps of 
truth, we approach the Christ mind in conscious- 
ness and thought. Bye and bye, we shall overcome 
the serpent's mind completely in thought and con- 
sciousness, then we shall be completely resurrected, 
and shall know as w^e are known, and see him face 
to face. As the holy spirit comes into our hearts, 
the light of truth is shed abroad in thought and 
consciousness, and we overcome the serpent's mind 
step by step, and we shall finally avercome com- 
pletely, through the spirit of truth, and be resur- 
rected with the Christ, then we shall know the 
truth in all of its reality, and be the children of God. 

All sickness, disease and insanity comes out 
of the mesmerism of the serpent's mind. The 
human race thus hypnotized by the serpent mind 
believes the lie of the serpent, that there is pleasure 
in the orgasm of the sex act, and hence, is subject 
to the law of pain and death. When we shall come 
out from under the law of sex mesmerism and be 
holy, as he was holy, we will not be subject to the 
lie of the serpent, that there is pleasure in the 
orgasm of the sex act, and can heal the sick as he 
healed them and restore the insane to their right 
mind as the Master did. When the soul is resur- 
rected from the sex mesmerism of the serpent and 
is holy in thought and consciousness, it is not 
subject to the carnal law of the senses. 

The Resurrection is going from the carnal 
senses to soul sense in thought and consciousness. 



— 31&— 



and the resurrection heals the sick and restores the 
insane to their right minds. When the last thought 
of the serpent shall be overcome in consciousness, 
the race will neither be sick "nor die any more." 
In soul consciousness, there is neither disease nor 
death, and only the soul knows God and only the 
soul is the child of God. And we only know God as 
our spiritual Father through soul sense, as we 
come out from under the sex mesmerism of the 
senses, and are resurrected in thought and con- 
sciousness, to the truth. May the Christ mind 
through the holy spirit guide all the race into the 
light of truth and awake the race from the night 
of sex mesmerism and death, before "the silver 
cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken." 

If the women of the world could come into the 
consciousness of the Christ mind, the Gospel and 
the truth as the Christ preached it, they would 
throw their diamonds, pearls, fine linens and oint- 
ments to the earth, and cover themselves with sack- 
cloth and ashes, and cry out for the light and to be 
free from the lust and death of the flesh. They 
would cease to submit their bodies to be defiled 
by m.en. If they could realize in consciousness 
what the Christ meant when he said, "For behold 
the days are coming in the which they shall say 
Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never 
bear, and the paps which never gave suck. Then 
shall they begin to say to the mountains, fall on us; 
and to the hills cover us." Luke 23:29-30. They 
would cease to submit their bodies to the lust of 
men, and the Kingdom of Heaven would be at 
hand. If men could come into the consciousness of 
what the Christ meant, when he said, "Except ye 
repent, ye shall all likewise perish," they would 



^•320- 



cease for human ambition, and to plunder each 
other and to pollute and defile the bodies of 
women; but would fall upon their faces and cry 
out for mercy, and to be delivered from this bond- 
age of lust and death. 

The soul that has overcome sex lust is "sanc- 
tified/' The saints have cast out devils and healed 
the sick by this spiritual truth in all ages. The 
Author has lived for many years through this spir- 
itual Truth, with a frail body and a shattered 
nervous system and an injured spine, as the result 
of five operations. He has lived through the law 
of this Truth. If he were spiritual enough, he 
could restore the perished nerves and the injured 
spine that the surgeons destroyed. But he has been 
through sin. He has known the opposite sex sex- 
ually. And with sorrow he realizes this has pre- 
vented him from obtaining that degree of spiritual 
perfection, to overcome physical laws and restore 
an injured spine and nervous system destroyed by 
surgeons. Yet he has lived for years in violation 
of every natural law, through the discernment of 
spiritual truth, and his understanding of the truth. 
The Truth is realized in consciousness, as the carnal 
senses are overcome in consciousness. Our Lord 
overcame the carnal senses completely in conscious- 
ness, and this was his resurrection and ascension, 
and as we overcome the carnal we are resurrected 
and when we shall' completely overcome, we shall 
be "like him.'' This is the General Resurrection. 

The Sabbath day will be the eternal day of rest 
to the "Sanctified." In that state of thought, car- 
nality and the carnal senses will not prevail within 
the consciousness of the soul. This is the Sabbath. 



The Sabbath is the state of spiritual thought and 
not a period of twenty-four hours. 

Jeremiah means "Jehovah has appointed." 
Jesus means "Jehovah is Salvation." Joshua means 
"Jehovah is strong." Joel means "Jehovah is God." 
Jehovah means "The Eternal One." Jacob means 
"The supplanter." Isiah means "Salvation of Je- 
hovah." Israel means "The soldier of God," or "I 
am the Light of God." Elijah means "Jehovah is 
God." Esau means "The hairy one, or sensuality." 
Adamah means Adam, "The earth, or the carnal 
man." Hell means "Hades," or the "Grave," that 
is the carnal thought and the serpent's mind 
vi^hich decays the material body and sends it to 
dust. During the orgasm of the sex act the soul 
is in Hell. It is then that the "image of the Beast," 
that is, carnal ideas, are written within the "fore- 
head," that is, in the thought of the soul. 

Thus, all through the Bible, the root meaning 
of Biblical terms, may be ascertained to represent 
the spiritual ideas of the soul or the carnal ideas 
of the sex brain and the lust of the flesh. These 
two laws run through the Bible; they are the 
language and the thought of the Bible. They 
are the languages of the tongue and the thoughts 
of the heart. The ideas of the sex brain are of 
the serpent's mind and are evil. The ideas of the 
soul are of the divine mind and they are good. 
The trouble with the race is, it wants to go to 
Heaven but wants to take hell with it. The race 
wants life, but it does not want to give up death. 
The race wants to retain the thought and the 
pleasure of the carnal senses and at the same 
time obtain life eternal. This cannot be done; 

The belief of pleasure within the thought of 



—322— 



the orgasm of the sex act is death. This state 
of consciousness is Hell. Death and hell must be 
given up and overcome, in thought and conscious- 
ness, to obtain heaven and life. All belief in the 
pleasure of the carnal senses must be overcome 
in thought and consciousness before the soul can 
come into the spiritual understanding of God and 
obtain life eternal. As we overcome the carnal 
senses in thought and the belief in the pleasure 
of the orgasm of the sex act, v^e come into that 
state of spiritual understanding v^hereby v^e ob- 
tain spiritual sense, and see through spiritual 
sense, and understand through spiritual sense. We 
obtain the Gospel in thought and consciousness. 
"Revelation" means "to lift the veil." The veil 
that darkens the spiritual understanding of the 
soul and prevents the soul from seeing God as 
spirit through spiritual sense, is the carnal senses 
of the sex brain. 

As these go out of consciousness the soul comes 
into spiritual understanding. As this veil of the 
carnal senses is lifted, the soul comes into that 
state of thought which is Christianity. It was 
the veil of the lust senses of the sex brain that 
was rolled back from the consciousness of the soul 
of Moses's,' when God communed with him at 
the "burning bush" and gave to him the Ten Com- 
mandments on Mount Sinai. It was the lust senses 
of the sex brain that Elijah overcame completely 
in thought when he ascended out of the material 
body and "Went up to Heaven." And this is what 
we must do before we are Resurrected and go to 
Heaven. Heaven is a State of thought. It was 
the lust senses of the sex brain that Enoch over- 
came completely in thought and consciousness when 



—323- 



he "Walked with God," and "God Took Him." It 
was the lust senses of the sex brain that our Savior 
completely overcame on the Mount of Ascension 
when he went out of his material body and 
ascended into heaven. His "Ascension" was going 
out of the carnal completely in thought and into 
the spiritual completely in thought. 

When he ascended, he overcame every thought 
of the carnal senses, and came into complete con- 
sciousness of the spiritual sense of the soul. The 
carnal senses were absolutely banished from 
thought and consciousness when he ascended. 

"And he shall come like he went." When he 
comes, he shall banish from the consciousness of 
the souls who have overcome sensuality every 
thought of the carnal senses. They shall "be like 
him." They shall be completely spiritual in thought 
and consciousness. They shall be above the ma- 
terial and carnal in thought and consciousness. 
This is the general resurrection and the general 
judgment. It is overcoming completely the 
mind of the serpent, which is hell and death. 
The theologians are still looking for the Garden 
of Eden. Every man has the Garden of Eden 
within him, in proportion as he overcomes car- 
nality. In proportion as he overcomes the belief 
in the pleasure of the senses and the thought of 
pleasure in the orgasm of the sex act he enters 
Eden. In proportion as he overcomes the carnal 
senses in thought he develops Eden within his own 
soul; and when man shall completely overcome the 
belief in the pleasure of the carnal senses, and the 
thought that there is pleasure in the orgasm of 
the sex act, he shall ascend in thought and con- 



—324— 



sciousness above the death sting of the serpent and 
be resurrected to eternal life. 

All things shall be made "new to him." The 
Master said in his name that his followers should 
tread upon the "serpents." Serpents are carnal 
thoughts. They are the serpent's mind, and as the 
Christ unfolds within the consciousness of our 
souls, we cast out every carnal thought and "Tread 
upon serpents." As we overcome the lust of the 
flesh we cast out of our consciousness the "flaming 
sword," placed at the gate of Eden, and the "cher- 
ubims" placed at Eden. These are the carnal 
senses. They are the thoughts of the orgasm of 
the sex act within the consciousness of our souls. 
As we overcome this state of consciousness, the 
"cherubims placed over the altar, which are the 
spiritual ideas of the divine mind, flow into the 
consciousness of our souls and resurrect our souls 
to eternal life. 

The mind of the sex brain is in all nature. It 
is in all things that are material. The planets 
affect the carnal mind. Sex polarization is every- 
where in nature. Hence, "The Heavens shall roll 
away like a scroll," and the "Sea shall be no more." 
The material shall come to an end. "Nevertheless 
we look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein 
dwelleth righteousness." This "new heaven and 
new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness" is a 
spiritual state. It is the spiritual state of the 
soul, in the image of its Maker. In that Holy 
State, every desire is spiritual, and every thought 
is holy. But "The earth shall abide forever." The 
"earth" here is the carnal man with his sensual 
and corrupt thoughts. It is the state of the lost. 
They still have within their consciousness the be- 



—325— 



belief that there is pleasure in the indulgence of the 
carnal senses. They still believe in thought and 
consciousness, that there is pleasure in the orgasm 
of the sex act. 

They have the "image of the beast" within 
their "foreheads," in thought and consciousness 
they are carnal. Will they ever overcome this lost 
state? We do not know. Our translation says, 
"It is forever." The original Greek reads, "For 
ages and ages." Does this mean eternal, or does 
it mean that they will finally work out of this 
lost state of darkness and come into the light of 
spiritual Truth, and the "image" of the Father? 
We do not know. God in his own wisdom and 
mercy knows; and with him and his mercy the 
destiny of those souls who have not overcome the 
serpent's mind and death, are left. 

The Saints can pray for them. Those who 
have overcome death and the lust of the flesh can 
only pray and hope through the ages of eternity 
that the lost may finally come into the conscious- 
ness of the Truth and overcome death and have 
life. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand 
before God and the books were opened; and another 
book was opened which is the Book of Life; and 
the dead were judged out of those things which 
were written in the books according to their works." 
Rev. 20:12. Every soul will be judged according 
to his carnal state or spiritual state. The deeper 
the soul has gone into carnality, the darker will 
be the night. The purer the soul is, the brighter 
will be the day. Those who have overcome "shall 
inherit all things." 

They will be in the "image" of the Father; 
they will he "sanctified," their language will be 



—326 — 



spiritual and their thought will be spiritual. The 
saints can commune, because they shall have the 
same language and the same state of thought. 
"There shall be no night there/' for there will be 
no carnality and evil there. And there will be no 
''Shame." Before the "fall" when God made man 
''in his image," man was "Without shame." In 
"The Holy City" there will be no "shame." In 
this city all is pure. It is the holy state of thought. 
"They shall speak with new tongues." Their lan- 
giiage will be spiritual and of soul. "They shall 
sing a new song." This song will be of soul sense 
and the music will be of spirit. "And God shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there 
shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, 
neither shall there be any more pain; for the 
former things are passed away. And he that sat 
upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things 
new." Rev. 21:4-5. 

This is the state of the redeemed. This is man 
in the spiritual "image" of his Maker. This is the 
state of holiness in which he was made before he 
fell. This is the resurrection and this state is 
spiritual and non-senual and non-material And 
with spiritual sense and notes divine, the redeemed 
will praise the Father throughout eternity. "And 
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire." Rev. 
20:14. All that is carnal in thought is cast down to 
spiritual death, and this is darkness and night. It 
is the state of the "evil minded." It is the state of 
consciousness of those who have not overcome the 
"image of the beast." But those who have over- 
come the serpent's mind "And they shall see his 
face, and his name shall be in their foreheads." 
Rev. 22:4. They shall have the spiritual nature of 



the Christ. They shall be holy in thought and 
consciousness. They shall be in the spiritual 
"image" of the Father, and there shall be no 
"More night and no more death" for them.
